Bayern Munich midfielder Xabi Alonso hopes Martin Odegaard plays regularly at Real Madrid.
The 16 year-old made the celebrated move from Stromsgodset last week.
"He's gone to a great club," said former Real star Xabi.
"At that age, playing should be the priority, it's really difficult in the big clubs among those that can be chosen. At 18, I decided to take a step back and sign for a club in the Segunda, but it was there that I got minutes and evolved as a player. It's a step that I'd advise all young players to take."
