Rafael Benitez eyes loan moves for Real Madrid youngsters

Real Madrid duo Martin Odegaard and Marco Asensio are set for loan moves away from the Santiago Bernabeu next season.

According to AS, the young stars are attracting suitors in Villarreal, Malaga and Real Betis, and new manager Rafael Benitez is open to the idea of sending the pair away to gain first team experience.

Norway international Odegaard, 16, made just one appearance for Madrid last term following his high-profile switch from Stromsgodset, while Asensio, 19, has just returned from a temporary spell with former club Mallorca.
