In recent times Real Madrid have signed some mini galacticos. The likes of Vinicius Junior, Rodrgyo, Aurélien Tchouaméni, etc. are some examples of young galacticos. These young players were signed for a huge price at a young age. However, before them, it was Martin Ødegaard who was the first mini galactico.
Many regarded his signing as a publicity stunt as well. He joined the club but he was loaned out to various clubs. Eventually, he found a home at Arsenal. In the summer of 2021, he secured a permanent move to the Emirates.
Since his arrival at Arsenal, he has been one of their best players. This season the Gunners are at the top of the table. They are playing like Champions as well. He has been pivotal to Gunner’s revival.
Recently he was also given the captain’s armband by Mikel Arteta. Such has been the impact of the Norwegian. Thus, it is impossible to ignore him this season.
A return to Real Madrid for Martin Ødegaard?
With his good form, questions have emerged about whether Los Blancos would want him back. According to Defense Central via Hard Tackle, Real Madrid are not considering a return for the player.
The report suggests that Los Blancos have different priorities. They are keen to sign Jude Bellingham from Borussia Dortmund. The youngster is a hot property in the transfer market. While many clubs are interested in the Englishman as well.
Not only this there are other areas where they want to strengthen. Recent reports have suggested they are looking to replace Karim Benzema. The Frenchman is 35 years old and Real Madrid will soon need fresh blood.
While left-back is also an area they want to strengthen. Bayern Munich’s Alphonso Davies is considered a target. Real Madrid are keen to sign him in the summer of 2024. However, it will be difficult to sign him.

Any possibility of a dreamy return for Martin Ødegaard?
It would be a fairytale story if the Norwegian returned to Santiago Bernabeu. He never really got an opportunity at Real Madrid but his performances for Arsenal would have certainly caught the eye of Los Blancos.
Also, in football many things are uncertain. However, if his stock continues to grow like this, Real Madrid would be tempted to bring him back. He is also a player who should fit in well at the club.
The Norwegian has already spent a good time at the club. He is also one of those rare players who don’t give the ball away higher up the pitch. While at the same time, he manages to create good chances for his team.
Thus there is definitely a possibility for his return to Real Madrid. He would personally want to return to Spain and prove himself. Also, a club like Real Madrid always challenges for trophies, while Arsenal have just begun fighting for top spots.
