Barcelona coach Luis Enrique has played it cool on in-demand starlet Martin Odegaard, who was at the Camp Nou for yesterday's 5-0 La Liga win over Cordoba.

Odegaard is being courted by a who's who of European football and has already spent time training with Bayern Munich, Arsenal, Liverpool, Real Madrid and Barcelona.




The 16-year-old, who is already a senior Norway international despite his tender age, is expected to make a decision on which club to join in the new year.

 


Barcelona took the opportunity to woo him on Friday and Saturday, with Odegaard being given a tour of their facilities, meeting Lionel Messi and company, and watching the Cordoba match.

But Enrique was not in any mood to offer a clue over whether the Stromsgodset midfielder will be joining the Catalans.

Asked about Odegaard at a press conference, the Barcelona boss said: "You mean the young 16-year-old boy?

"It seems that he has many clubs that want him.

"It is up to him to decide."
