All this marks fresh territory for the European champions, a club which has always had a broad scouting network, but sometimes failed to make their best young players feel very special.Odegaard will train with the first-team but he is principally attached to Castilla,the clubs feeder side.

To fully grasp Martin Odegaard's age, consider the fact that he wasn't alive the last time Norway featured in a World Cup. Born little more than 16 years ago in Drammen, a small city southwest of Oslo, he was five months too late to be alive for his nation's run to the last 16 of France 98, though father Hans Erik certainly was. A midfielder for Stromsgodset between 1993 and 2003, Hans Erik is now better known as the man who took young Martin on a very public road show of Europe's top clubs throughout 2014, finally settling on the biggest of them all -- Real Madrid.

Martin's own career started at the same club where dad made his name, and the story reads more like fantasy than reality. His unofficial senior debut for Stromsgodset came when he was 13 years old. Just as any child would be, he was nervous, struggling to sleep the night he was informed his name is on the match list.

Martin became the youngest-ever player to participate in a senior game for Stromsgodset, and the records began to tumble thereafter. In April 2014 he made his official debut, coming on for the last 20 minutes in a Tippeligaen match with Aalesund and setting a new age record for the league at 15 years and 118 days old.

That same month he scored his first Tippeligaen goal, as 6,427 spectators watched him tuck away the fourth in a 4-1 win over Sarpsborg. Three months later he travelled with the senior Norway national team, gaining a first cap in a 0-0 draw with the United Arab Emirates before he had even made his under-21 debut (that followed in September). In October, he was back with the seniors for an official fixture, turning out in a 2-1 Euro 2016 qualifying win over Bulgaria. Another age record: at 15 years and 300 days old, he is the youngest footballer to participate in a European Championship qualifier.

The end of the year was marked by a tour of Europe's elite. Real Madrid were on the itinerary but in the month of December he also trained with Liverpool and Bayern Munich. Old manager Deila had initially hoped to tempt him with a more sober move to Celtic, where he now manages, but the gleam of 10 Champions League trophies is a difficult one to ignore.

In the early hours of Jan. 22, Madrid confirmed they had signed the 16-year-old, a private jet flying him to the Spanish capital from Rygge for his presentation later that day. His time in the Norwegian league lasted an astoundingly short 23 games.
