Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Arsenal and Liverpool were all, according to press reports, in the race to sign the teenager.
Norwegian press sports suggested the teen would spend the spring playing for Castilla — the club’s youth team, coached by former world champion Zinedine Zidane — and join the first team’s reputed stars Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale, James Rodriguez, Toni Kroos and Karim Benzema after the summer.
A dream come true for a boy who just celebrated his 16th birthday on December 17.
The rapid turn of events will not be unfamiliar to Oedegaard, who already has three international appearances for Norway to his name.
When he joined the first team of Stroemsgodset, the club of his native city of Drammen, in April 2014, he became the youngest player to ever play in the Norwegian first division. A month later, he became the league’s youngest scorer.
Oedegaard scored five goals and provided seven assists in his 23 games for the club.
His prowess quickly drew attention as videos of the then 15-year-old running circles around his opponents created an online buzz that spread to the Scandinavian sports press.
