Real Madrid must cough up if they're to cut short the loan of Martin Odegaard at Real Sociedad.

AS says Real Madrid have already put the wheels in motion to secure a return for the Norwegian player next summer. But Real Sociedad club representatives have confirmed that no-one from the Bernabéu side has established contact with a view to ending the loan term sooner than the original two year term.

If Real Madrid do push the initiative to recover the 21-year-old after just one season of the deal, then a sub-clause of the term would be triggered and the club from the capital would be liable to pay a an administration related fine which could rise to as much as four million euro although given the cordial relationship that exist between both clubs, Real Madrid are optimistic that this fine could be waived or reduced.
