The 16-year-old left Stromsgodset for Real in January 2015 after visiting a number of clubs that were after his signature and – even though he has yet to become a first-team regular at the Santiago Bernabeu side – Odegaard is thoroughly enjoying life in the Spanish capital.
"I visited Liverpool, the two Manchester teams and they were all very nice but my choice was Real Madrid and I am very happy with that," Odegaard was quoted as saying by the Daily Mail.
"Madrid is very good. It is the best place if you want to become a better footballer.
"I have been given the number 10 shirt at Castilla and it is a big responsibility having that number, but it is the one that I like and I am just going to enjoy it.
"I have spoken a little bit with Rafa Benitez, but not too much at the minute.
"My focus is to become a better footballer and develop every day."
Odegaard made his debut for Real the 7-3 win over Getafe back in May, but has mostly been playing for the reserve side.
