Ex-Real Madrid chief Mijatovic: Odegaard needed to have more patience before Arsenal move

Former Real Madrid sporting director Pedja Mijatovic believes Martin Odegaard would've made it at the Bernabeu.

Mijatovic says the Norwegian just needed patience.

The midfielder is now a star in England with Arsenal, where he is now captain.

Mijatovic told Cadena SER: "Barça's own homegrown players have more patience.

"Odegaard is very talented, he had opportunities, but at the key moment he decided to leave. At that moment you can't do anything, you can't force them. Those of Madrid do not have patience."
