He fights with Lionel Messi and Manuel Neuer to be named the world’s best footballer.

The three superstars uses afternoon to a scene chat in Congress house in Zurich. On Dagbladet questions – about what Ronaldo thinks about Martin Ødegaard – he replied:

– He’s a good player. A young boy. He is 16 years old. He has a good future ahead of him, said Ronaldo and continued:

– But we must give him time to learn. He must have time to make the right decision. But I see a lot of potential in him. He has a good left foot.

Vi spør tippeligaspillere om hvem de vil gi Gullballen til.

Mandag kveld deles Ballon d’Or ut. Gullballen. Årets beste fotballspiller i verden. Den gjeveste indidivuelle utmerkelsen en fotballspiller kan få.

Cristiano Ronaldo vant i fjor, mens Lionel Messi gikk til topps de tre foregående årene. Fire, hvis vi regner med Ballon d’Or-prisene som ble delt ut før denne prisen slo seg sammen med FIFAs egen pris.

De tre nominerte for 2014 er nettopp Cristiano Ronaldo og Lionel Messi, samt den tyske keeperen Manuel Neuer.

Hvem som vinner, blir kjent under FIFA-gallaen i Zürich mandag kveld. FIFA sender hele seansen direkte på sin YouTube-kanal. Der streames ogås pressekonferansen med de tre kandidatene, som starter klokken 15.30.

Showet sendes også direkte på både Eurosport (sendestart 18.15) og TV 2 Sportskanalen (sendestart 18.00).

Cristiano Ronaldo er bookmakernes klare favoritt. Det er imidlertid ingen garanti for at han vinner.

Nettavisen har spurt flere av tippeligaspillere om hvem de ville stemt på. Det gir oss et bilde av hvem som er favoritt til å smile bredest i Zürich mandag kveld, men kanskje ikke et veldig klart svar.

Vi stilte helt enkelt spørsmålet «Hvem bør få Gullballen og hvorfor?»

Magne Hoset, Viking:
- Ronaldo fordi han i 2014 rett og slett var mest komplett. Han holdt et høyt nivå hele året og hadde ingen formdupper.

Mads Hansen, Mjøndalen:
- Selv om Neuer har hatt en strålende sesong, og på mange måter redefinert keeperrollen, står det mellom Messi og Ronaldo for meg. De er så til de grader i en klasse for seg selv at det å måtte velge mellom dem får Sofies valg til å fremstå som noe trivielt. Uansett: Jeg har alltid vært en Messi-mann (Messiever?), men i 2014 var Ronaldo strået hvassere. Jeg begrunner det med Champions League-seier, samt bedre individuelle statistikker.

Mix, tidligere Rosenborg:
- Som utespiller er det vanskelig for meg å si at en keeper bærer laget sitt, men i år går det ikke an å komme rundt Neuer, som knapt har gjort én feil. Og det har han gjort i 1,5-2 posisjoner – som både keeper og sweeper.

Morten Berre, Vålerenga:
- Jeg ville stemt på Messi, rett og slett fordi jeg synes han er best.

Vidar Örn Kjartansson, Vålerenga:
- Ronaldo! Han fortjener den. Han vant Champions League med Real Madrid og hans målstatistikk er utrolig. Han er den perfekte spiller!

Tore Reginiussen, Rosenborg:
- Jeg ville stemt på Neuer, på grunn av det han gjorde for Tyskland i VM og fordi jeg hadde æren av å være lagkamerat med ham en liten stund.

Jonas Svensson, Rosenborg:
- Det blir Ronaldo for meg. En maskin og atlet som leverer mål i hver eneste kamp. Komplett!

Northug hints Coop exit – Aftenposten

Petter Northug is strong in the belief that he continues on the national team next season. Should that happen, he must shelve sponsorship agreement.

Petter Northug went into second overall in the Tour de Ski Sunday. Thus Mosvik no once again proved that the shape is approaching before Falun Championships.

However, it was long uncertain whether Northug would go this season Tour de Ski, or VM for that matter. Negotiations on a compensation agreement with FIS stalling and did not materialize. Northug signed at the end of the twelfth hour, just before the deadline on November 1.

Under the agreement Northug goes World Cup with the national team jersey, not the Coop jersey. During the Tour de Ski was however food chain logo on start numbers. It was Mosvik no note.

When he celebrated victory in Thursday’s pursuit he praised logo.

After Sunday’s tour ending hinted however Northug that the agreement with Coop can go towards the end.

In an interview with NRK he told about his desire to go one eight ettapper long tour in Canada .

– I’ve seen on the tour in Canada and the deadlines very, said Northug NRK.

Should Northug go the tour, and other World Cup, he must however terminate the agreement with Coop.

– It will go well, said Northug, questions about the forthcoming negotiations with Ski Federation.

– Have spent time dealing with it

skiing stars are known for their cryptic statements, but the quotes can be interpreted he envisions a future with the national team beyond Innvær season.

Ski Federation has already made it clear that if Northug want to continue the national team next season, he can not promote Coop season break either.

– In 2014 was Northug except the rules to promote a private sponsorship between 1 May and 24 November. In 2015, the opportunity taken away, said Secretary General of Ski Federation Stein Opsal Aftenposten.

– special agreements from 2014 we will not continue, but if he relate to the same rules as the other athletes in 2015, he is warmly welcomed, continues Opsal.

– Why do not you on the same deal as in 2014?

– It was a transitional from the agreement for 2013-2014 season, which was the first season Petter stood outside national team. In 2014, we tightened and in 2015 he must be on an equal footing with everyone. This has been a new situation, which we have spent time managing in a good way, says Opsal.

– Up to Petter

Thus, the Secretary-General clear: Petter Northug must choose between Coop and the World Cup during 2015. Northug statements may indicate that it is Coop that must yield. However, it is contrary to the Northug Manager Are Sorum Langås said in September.

– Petter selected Coop and Coop have selected Petter. It is therefore not applicable for Petter to break or break the agreement with Coop and return the national team after the World Cup in Falun.

– The reason for this is that Petter after nine years on the national team had a strong need for change. Then came Coop in and made it possible to continue his active career, said Langås VG.

Opsal in Ski Federation will not say anything about the probability that Northug continues on the national team.

– It is too early to say nothing about. It is entirely up to Petter to determine this. He is well aware of the guidelines that will apply. It had been nice to him back in the national team on May 1, said Opsal.

Neither Northug Manager Are Sorum Langås or kommunikasjonsdirektær Coop Kristin Paus has answered Aftenposten inquiries.

The Argentinian scored one goal and let up to two with Barcelona ended a turbulent week with a 3-1 victory over champions Atletico Madrid Sunday. Afterwards there was a clearly irritated Messi who spoke to Barca TV.

– I have never demanded anything to be, because I have never had any thoughts about leaving Barcelona, ​​he said.

– I’ve heard it said that my father should have talked to Chelsea or Manchester City. It’s just a lie. I use this chance to deny it so everyone learns the truth.

Messi failed to materialize from training Monday after Luis Enrique put him on the bench in the 0-1 loss to Real Sociedad last weekend. The official reason was stomach problems.

Reputation stock

The day after reaching rumor mill new highs when it became known that Messi “followed” Chelsea and two of their players, Thibaut Courtois and Filipe Luís, on the social media Instagram.

Media in Catalonia reported then that Messi had been meeting with Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu and demanded that team must get a new coach.

– I am grateful for the opportunity to present my side of the case, said Messi Sunday.

– This hurts me because it comes from here, from Barcelona, ​​from people who love the club or say that they do it. It does not come from Madrid, as in prior cases. They are looking for rivalry between Luis Enrique and me, but it does not exist.

Messi appealed to Barcelona supporters to get behind the team.

– We must stand together more than ever, fans and us. We have six important months ahead of us where we can achieve great things for ourselves and the club, he said.

Good match

About it was sown doubt Luis Enrique’s position, it was largely removed with the team perhaps best achievement in his seven-month period as coach.

Messi played forward Neymar to a goal in the 12 minutes and served then Luis Suárez his second goal in La Liga. Messi was involved also when Atletico Madrid reduced, since he caused penalty Mario Mandzukic traded in goal.

The Argentinian made amends by setting result three minutes before the end. Barcelona is thus still only one point behind Real Madrid, who have played a game less.

– This victory has special value because it came against a direct rival in the league, said Suárez .

– The confidence in the team is good. It’s great to play with Messi and Neymar, as with all my teammates. We obtained a great victory today. (NTB)

Neymar pig tackled drawing blood in Barcelona triumph – Aftenposten

All Atletico defenders had yellow cards, except one. He would probably have had red.

BARCELONA – ATLETICO MADRID 3-1

Kaos has characterized Barcelona off the field recently. Chaos was also occasionally at Camp Nou when Atletico Madrid hosted the Catalan capital.

A total of nine players got a yellow card and it could quickly been more.

Especially one situation should have been a stronger reaction from the match referee. After José Giménez risked everything with straight leg in a tackle against Neymar. The defender did not hit the ball, but hit Barcelona player right on the ankle.

The referee let the game go on. Which according to the recapitulation was a huge miscalculation.

tackle the blood

Neymar was lying and squirm in pain, and had to be transported off the field on a stretcher. Closeup showed that he was bleeding heavily from the ankle, and the Brazilian gave a clear message that he must have new football stockings.

– We conduct a good game and we the players have focused on this fight. We will ensure that headline again about the sport, said Neymar when he was asked about the recent speculation surrounding internal strife in Barcelona.

Barcelona number ten challenged with ball at his feet and waited just long enough before he dropped the ball on to Luis Suárez, who easily put the bullet header from ten yards.

The goal was admittedly not entirely uncontroversial. Messi took the ball seemingly with upper part of the arm, and would probably have been called off, but referee Alberto Undiano Mallenco let it pass.

In the second half came the judge once again in focus. Lionel Messi for once down in their own fields to defend. Atletico Jesús Gomez went over in a duel with Messi said, and the referee pointed to the penalty.

Messi closed party the night

– This is a cheap, said C Mores kommetator Magnar Kvalvik.

It was the way the first penalty Lionel Messi has made Barcelona shirt.

But the little magician would also prove its best side.

Suárez and Neymar had already scored, but the team’s biggest star had yet to put bullet at checkout. He did four minutes before the end and killed thus all remaining tension. Barcelona won 3-1 and is now in second place in La Liga. One point behind Real Madrid, who have played one match less.

We grabbed the simple things and focused on it. I felt that it helped that I was back where I’ve been.

She was both happy and relieved after the victory. Johaug admitted that she was smooth field happiest finish.

Nothing is given

Most keep Martin as favorite against Petter when it comes to hill climbs.

– Actually, this was a kaosløp with action from start to finish, and not a particularly good predisposed ran from my side, says Martin – who was also stopped by a fall in one of the descents.

– Yes, I was down on a so-called face-plant.

“Tour de Cash»: Weak Norwegian krone Northug & Co record payments – VG

VAL DI FIEMME (AP) Glad Message to Petter Northug (29) and partnership: A weak Norwegian krone makes it extra fat to be Norwegian winter sports athlete abroad.

For the best are talking about hundreds of thousands of dollars extra in prize money. And not least, comes the Tour de Ski, the pools are very nice.

Marit Bjoergen might blow all records if she comes up first monster hill here in Val di Fiemme Sunday. Winner she additional 10-kilometer Saturday (starting 15:45 hours), she has won every Tour de Ski stage.

It has never happened before.

Norwegian practitioners prize money worth much extra year. Reason: The Norwegian krone since November has been greatly weakened in relation to the prize money currency Swiss franc.

Last year at this time was obtained 6.80 million for each Swiss franc, according valutaveksel.no. Now you get 7.50 million.

– If the changer money and use them in Norway, so they’ve got a lucky time effect. Then they have cashed in, says Tom Staavi, economics commentator for the VG media house.

– High daily salary

Winner Mon rubbel and bit – something Bjoergen can be the first in history to do – we are left with 120,000 Swiss francs, or just over 900,000 dollars. At the same time last year were obtained 815.000 million for the same amount franc.

– There is a high daily salary just the day, but there is much work behind, says Marit Bjoergen VG.

– How big is the bonus from sponsors?

– I have not thought of. That has never happened before, so I must home to watch.

In glorious winter sunshine and one minus degree was the Norwegian skiers out and practiced Friday. Sundby could not be interviewed. He will focus on the two races remaining.

– If I do not set up, I become well caged says Northug and laughs.

11,000 more victory

After the VG can bonus part of Coop his salary constitute 20 percent of total salary. He can thus get a couple million bonus money with success in the Tour de Ski and World Cup. Northug also get bonuses of equipment supplier Fischer. In last year’s fiasco season went Northug miss three million in bonuses.

Martin Johnsrud Sundby gained around 1.5 million in clean prize money in 2014. He can earn rough on the weak Norwegian crown.

Every World Cup victory in cross country is now worth around 11,000 pounds more than the same time last year – if you are Norwegian. A victory gives 15,000 Swiss francs, nearly 113,000 dollars.

PS The same logic applies to other winter sports administered by FIS. Alpinist Kjetil Jansrud have run into around 180,000 Swiss francs this winter. It was worth 1.22 million dollars on this time last year. Now: 1.35 million.

Ødegaard first salary if he chooses Liverpool: 63,500 kroner – Dagbladet.no

(Dagbladet In recent months he sust around on Europe’s finest football pitches as if he were a Champions League match ball. Now nears the solution at Martin Ødegaard lover touring, and the last few days have mostly indicated that the solution called Real Madrid.

A new hint came on Friday, when Real manager Carlo Ancelotti held a press conference. The same man was asked Martin Ødegaard in November. Then he said:

– I’m not talking about players I have not in the stable min.

But after 16-year-old this week visited the Spanish capital club again, was Ancelotti more open:

– He’s young, he has talent and he is a player with a great future. But we have not taken any decision yet.

Denied English pro contract

The Spanish newspaper Marca claims to know that Bayern Munich has given Martin Ødegaard a financial offer Real Madrid fail to compete with. The German offerings 16-year-old a first annual salary of less than 14 million, according to the newspaper, before it rises towards 23 million in the fifth year of the contract.

But there are other drooling admirers who are farther away these sums than Real Madrid, at least if we look at what they can offer Ødegaard in 2015: In England the rules so that foreign players do not get write pro contract until they are 17 years old. Should Martin Ødegaard decide to go to their ancestral favorite club Liverpool, which he also visited before Christmas, he must be content to sign a academy contract.

63,500 in annual salary

The same applies if he lets himself be tempted by other English providers Manchester City, Manchester United or Arsenal. For the Premiership country conditions clear: A foreigner under 17 years are allowed to play and train with the first team, but his contract contains a wage at paltry 105 pounds a week.

With the current pound courses will say roughly 1200 million in allowance. Or 63,500 per year.

This agreement will Ødegaard had to deal with until he gets 17 years. There he becomes 17 December 2015. Then he can write his first professional contract with the English club, and suddenly he can double the wages and hook up a couple zeros.

Can get insurance

There is not uncommon for players to receive oral assurances that they are going to get professional contract at the moment they fill 17, and that they like seen know that large sums waiting about not too long.

But the first year are not many pound banknotes counting – then they must be content to play football and train.

Just what Martin Ødegaard do best. Whether it happens in Drammen, Madrid, Munich or Liverpool.

Real Madrid boss about Ødegaard: – He has a great future – Aftenposten

Carlo Ancelotti was pleased with Martin Ødegaard achievements in training.

By Martin Ødegaard Madrid visit, tug of war over 16-year-old is not yet settled. Earlier in the week it was assumed that midfield talent traveling to meet Real Madrid and to negotiate their personal bettngelser but Thursday night country Ødegaard home in Norway without any agreement. It followed the Spanish newspaper Marca up turning up a picture of Martin Ødegaard at the front of Friday’s newspaper titled “Come to Madrid.”

Ødegaard was also mentioned in Carlo Ancelotti’s press conference before Sunday’s Real Madrid match against Espanyol. Asked about the Norwegian talent, responded Ancelotti following:

– Martin trained with us yesterday and Castile (B-team, journ.anm.) Wednesday. He is an incredibly good player and has a great future and it was good to get to know him. But nothing is decided yet.

Thus, it is still hope for clubs who want to ensure youngsters signature. In addition to Real Madrid, Liverpool have, Manchester United, Manchester City, Barcelona, ​​Bayern Munich and Ajax been mentioned as relevant clubs. The desire Ødegaard signature has become a player hunting between the biggest clubs in Europe. Not unlike a similar player hunting in autumn 2008.

When it was not a Norwegian, but a Dane who clubs lay long flat after. Christian Eriksen was considered one of the world’s greatest football talents at age 16. The midfielder, who played for Danish Odense, was wanted by several of the biggest clubs and was on trial in including Barcelona and Chelsea. Finally the choice fell on Ajax, one of the clubs who now wants Martin Ødegaard. Conditions in Europe top clubs were ‘too big’ for the young Dane.

– I think that Ajax is my club. It is big, but not too large, and so I think that Holland is a good place to start, Eriksen said after the transition to the bank.

The first year spent Dane youth team and reserve team, before he its A-lagsdebut in January 2010.

The youngest

It can be drawn many parallels between Ødegaard and Eriksen announced in 2008, but there is one clear difference. Ødegaard has one season at the top level in Norway behind them with five goals and seven assists in 23 league games and has three caps. When he was exchanged for Norway against Bulgaria in European Championship qualifying match, he became the youngest player in a European Championship qualifier (15 years and 300 days).

In comparison Eriksen only played junior matches for Odense and U17- caps for Denmark when he went to Ajax. His debut for Ajax was his first A-tier match.

FC Copenhagen scout in Scandinavia, Bjarne Hansen, has previously stated that Ødegaard is a better player now than Eriksen was at age 16.

– He believes that Ødegaard is two notches, if not three, ahead Christian Eriksen when he was at the same age. He seems very mature, said FCK coach Ståle Solbakken in an interview about Ødegaard with Danish tipsbladet.dk fall.

It also believes Lars Tjærnås.

– I saw Eriksen only once that age, the age specific Superbowl and should be careful not to conclude too firm. Nevertheless: There is little doubt that Ødegaard is further ahead. Eriksen went “detour” via the Academy in Ajax. Martin can go straight into the A squad there, or choose among the elite clubs in the world, says Tjærnås, as in a comment in the fall recommended Ødegaard do it Eriksen did in 2008; choose Ajax as his next club.

Just play types

A clear similarity between the two, playing style. Martin Ødegaard could probably be described as a better technical player than the Dane, but both are also known for its overview and good passing. When Eriksen left Odense, said the club’s chief talent Uffe Pedersen following the fyens.dk:

- Christian has some visions player that you do not normally see in the aldenren. That he has more tools in order, as he is precise with both feet, is one thing. But it is playing the understanding that promises he said Pedersen then. Switches one out “Christian” with “Martin”, it could equally have been a description of the young Strømsgodset player.

– I see far more similarities than differences between them as players. Both have a combination of technique, balance and overview that makes them already from an early age could manage very well against older players, because they came out of the physical toughest duels with the ball under control, describes Tjærnås. He also mentions differences between the two in extreme skills. While Ødegaard an extreme nærteknikk, Eriksen good advantage of a solid dødball- and langpasningsfot.

Tjærnås also believe Ødegaard will be used in the same roles Eriksen has established itself in.

– Martin may end up being one of two player types, I think. Whether as a dribbler based on the edge, or as a pure number ten, more a playmaker. The interesting thing is that Eriksen alternates between these roles today in Tottenham, says Tjærnås.

Eriksen won Honorary division in the Netherlands three times with Ajax and scored 33 goals in 161 games before he was bought by Tottenham for 11 million pounds (127 million after closing rate) summer 2013. In the English club has Eriksen 17 goals in 60 games and was named player of the year by the fans in his first season in the Premier League.

Martin Ødegaards suksess er ingen tilfeldiget.

12 måneder har passert siden juvelen fra Bragernesåsen trente med Strømsgodsets rekruttstall i 4. divisjon. Det var der han innledet fjoråret. Men det varte ikke lenge.

Nå tyder mye på at Martin Ødegaard blir solgt til verdens mektigste og mestvinnende klubb. «Kongens klubb» Real Madrid.

Kontrastene og spranget er så enormt at det hele føles uvirkelig.

Det er rett og slett litt vanskelig å ta inn over seg. Martin Ødegaard er blitt et verdensfenomen. Og de siste dagene har han og pappa Hans Erik stått midt i sirkuset i den spanske hovedstaden.

Onsdag traff Godset-spilleren flere av Reals superstjerner inne på det enorme treningsanlegget Valdebebas. Han trente med Cristiano Ronaldo og de andre A-lagsspillerne som satt på benken i onsdagens Madrid-derby mot Atletico.

Alle venter på at Martin skal takke ja til tilbudet – som ifølge rapportene innebærer at han blir en del av A-stallen til Real.

Denne saken er levert av Drammens Tidende.

Kunstgresset på Kjappen

Men la oss først skru klokken tilbake til 2005. Da skjedde det noe som er blitt helt avgjørende for Martins utvikling.

Han fikk en helt ny bane å trene på i nærheten av familiens villa på Toppenhaug.

Hans Erik Ødegaard og 15–20 andre foreldre fra Toppenhaug spyttet inn 50.000 kroner hver for å legge nytt kunstgress på grusbanen Kjappen.

Siden den gang har løkka vært Martins andre hjem. Det er her han har lagt grunnlaget. Det er her han og Hans Erik har terpet detaljer i time etter time. Nærheten til hjemmet har bidratt til at Martin har fått trene så ofte som mulig.

Tema på lederplass

Og han har gjort det med kvalitet på grunn av kunstgresset. Grusen som var der hadde ikke gjort samme nytten.

Lagkamerat i Godset Jørgen Oland og Marcus Haugland (Godsets rekruttstall) er for øvrig også produkter av Kjappen.

Spleiselaget for ti år siden skjedde ikke uten diskusjon i nærmiljøet. Det var faktisk også tema på lederplass i Drammens Tidende. Men i dag er det liten tvil om at investeringen har ført til økt aktivitet blant barn og unge i området.

Og byen har fått en stjerne som hele fotballverdenen snakker om. Det er ganske ålreit det også.

Debuten som 13-åring

Martin Ødegaard skapte de første overskriftene her hjemme da han fikk sin uoffisielle Godset-debut allerede som 13-åring.

Det var i en treningskamp mot Mjøndalen. Pappa Hans Erik var assistenttrener – som i dag.

Den lille lyshårede pjokken kom innpå i 2. omgang. Fra sin posisjon på høyrekant spilte han fri Péter Kovács, som fikk straffe. Martin ville involveres på direkten. Han ville prege kampen. Han tok ansvar med ball.

I en alder av 13.

– Selvfølgelig utvikler du deg mer hvis du vil ha ballen, sa Martin Ødegaard til Drammens Tidende den augustdagen i 2012.

En stjerne var født.

Rekord til rekord

To år senere debuterte han i Tippeligaen. Med like stort fokus på utvikling.

Martin Ødegaard gikk fra rekord til rekord i fjor. Tidenes yngste spiller i Tippeligaen, yngste målscorer, yngste spiller på A-landslaget, yngste spiller i EM-kvalifiseringen.

Yngst i alt. Og best.

Martin Ødegaard tok norsk fotball med storm. Folk gned seg i øynene og kløp seg i armen. Medspillere, motspillere, tilskuere, journalister, agenter, speidere – alle sammen.

Nesten årets spiller

Han presterte i perioder på et nivå som ikke var til å tro. Internasjonal fotballpresse vendte blikket mot Drammen. Mobillinjen til Godsets mediesjef Helge Helgesen var formelig rødglødende. Hele verden ville plutselig skrive om gutten.

Det tok av på en måte som både var morsomt og ganske skremmende.

Fem mål og åtte målgivende pasninger ble det til slutt. Martin ble nesten årets spiller på VG-børsen. Han manglet tre kamper på å bli årets spiller i Drammens Tidende.

I en alder av 15 – snart 16 år.

Vokser ut av Godset

De beste klubbene på kontinentet intensiverte jakten på Martin Ødegaard i takt med de vanvittige prestasjonene – og den økte oppmerksomheten. Om mobilen til Helgesen gikk varm, så var det ingenting mot Hans Erik Ødegaards telefonaktivitet.

Norges mest kjente fotball-pappa har ladet mobilen konstant det siste halve året. Det er greit å ha batterikapasitet når Pep Guardiola ringer.

Det finnes mange talentfulle 15-åringer på denne planeten. Men bare et fåtall får muligheten til å spille regelmessig på øverste nivå i sitt land. Nesten ingen får muligheten til å skinne som Martin Ødegaard har gjort i Strømsgodset.

Han har gjort seg fortjent til spilletiden, til hederen og æren. Men David Nielsen skal ha kreditt for at han har lagt opp så mye av det offensive spillet rundt en tenåring.

Det er ikke alle trenere som hadde gjort det. Uansett hvor stort talentet er.

Verdensfenomen

Nå er Martin Ødegaard i ferd med å vokse ut av Strømsgodset. Ut av norsk fotball. Han er riktignok den samme sympatiske gutten med gode holdninger og flotte verdier, men fotballspilleren Martin Ødegaard er blitt et verdensfenomen.

Med alt det fører med seg.

De siste dagers sirkus i Madrid vitner om formatet. Fredag prydet Martin forsiden i Marca – den spanske sportsavisen med 2,5 millioner daglige lesere. Overgangen fra Strømsgodset til Real Madrid vil være tidenes desidert største i norsk fotball.

Ingen forhandlinger

Det finnes ikke lenger noen som tror at han kommer til å avslå tilbudet fra Real. Det er bare ikke noe du gjør. Du sier ikke nei til Real Madrid.

Når Martin har bestemt seg vil Godset gå i forhandlinger med Real Madrid. Det har fremdeles ikke vært noen kontakt mellom klubbene, etter hva Drammens Tidende forstår.

Godset står fritt til å forhandle med spanjolene som de måtte ønske. Sentrale punkter kan bli prosenter av videresalg og utbetalinger etter antall kamper. Men enn så lenge får de ikke gjort annet enn å legge best mulig til rette for far og sønn Ødegaard.

Spørsmålet mange stiller seg er hva klubben sitter igjen med når verdens mest ettertraktede fotballtenåring selges til en klubb som Real Madrid. Spanske medier spekulerer i salgssum på fire millioner euro (ca. 36 mill. kroner). Men det er ikke annet enn spekulasjoner, all den tid klubbene ennå ikke har åpnet forhandlingene.

På tide å få det avklart

Det er SIFs sportssjef Jostein Flo som tar seg av dialogen med Hans Erik Ødegaard. Ingen andre. Det er mest ryddig slik. Flere kokker gir mer søl.

De to gamle lagkameratene prater godt sammen. Og det skal de fortsette med.

Eventyret om Martin Ødegaard har allerede mange kapitler, men flere skal skrives. Det neste dreier seg om hans neste klubb.

Til uken får vi kanskje vite mer. Avgjørelsen synes å være nær. Det er på tide med en avklaring.

For alle parter.
