It must be pretty difficult for Real Madrid fans not to get just a bit too excited about Martin Odegaard at the moment.
The 20-year-old Norwegian midfielder is definitely thriving on his loan spell at Real Sociedad and is, quite frankly, tearing La Liga apart.
And this is no exaggeration either. He’s definitely been one of La Real’s best performers so far in the ongoing 2019/20 campaign.
Just the fact that he was named the club’s Player of the Month in August and is their highest-ranked player overall according to Whoscored goes a long way to justifying that statement.
And just recently, when his performances finally started getting the attention of the public, there was a report from AS stating that Real Madrid actually can recall the player back from loan earlier than originally planned.

Odegaard should be Real Sociedad’s player for two straight seasons but if Los Blancos change their mind, they can recall him as early as the 2020/21 campaign. The same report also states that the Whites have definitely noticed the young Norwegian’s brilliant displays, suggesting that his loan spell might actually be cut short.
But even though there’s no denying that Odegaard has simply been fantastic, taking him away from Real Sociedad and cutting his loan spell in half could prove detrimental.
Yes, it’s easy to get carried away and mesmerised by his performances as of late, but Real Madrid should be patient and let him continue developing before he makes his big return.
Odegaard is building something over at La Real and snatching it away from him early might have bad consequences and disrupt his progress. Breaking into the Real Madrid team – regardless of how well you’ve played elsewhere in La Liga – is never easy, and two campaigns of regular football is always more beneficial than just one followed by another wallowing on the bench.
It is essential that they don’t let that happen and that they let him thrive and grow even further now that his form is on the rise. Of course, there’s no knowing if it will continue further down the road but at the very moment, the mere mention of a potential callback could be a distraction that disrupts his flow.
Odegaard will still be far from a finished product by the time those two years go by but Los Blancos are bound to get an even better player back in their squad if they just wait a little bit longer. Patience is key here – let the youngster continue to blossom.
