Vitesse Arnhem coach Leonid Slutsky believes Martin Odegaard is ready to return to Real Madrid next season.
The Norway midfielder has enjoyed career best form on-loan with Vitesse this term.
And Slutsky told DAZN: "I would like to continue working with him, but consider the chance at almost zero per cent."
Odegaard has been linked with Ajax and the coach joked: "Of course, Ajax is a very big club, right now bigger than Real Madrid!"
But he added: "I don't know exactly what kind of club would be good for Martin, but he's 100% ready for another level. Maybe he will play for Real Madrid next season, who knows?
"If Ajax are interested, it can also be a good alternative. Or maybe a Bundesliga club or a Premier League club. But he deserves it and he's ready to play at another level."
