REAL SOCIEDAD president Jokin Aperribay is confident of keeping Real Madrid loanee Martin Odegaard for his full two-year spell.
The 21-year-old has been earning rave reviews over his performances since joining the White and Blues last year – chipping in with six goals and eight assists in 23 games.

And the playmaker even netted at the Bernabeu on Thursday night against Los Blancos as he helped Sociedad knock his parent out of the Copa del Rey.
It is believed that Real have the option to recall Odegaard in the summer, with the club viewing the youngster as the natural successor to Luka Modric.
The Croatian midfielder could be allowed to leave for Inter Milan at the end of the season, paving the way for Odegaard to obtain a starting spot in Madrid.
Ultimately the decision will be in the player’s hands, but Aperribay is adamant there is “zero chance” Odegaard will be donning the famous white jersey next campaign.
Speaking of his future, he said: “I think we are talking about a club that is a gentleman and a player that has very clear things. I think the pact is going to fulfil the pact we have.
“The player is from Real Madrid and if they requested it we would have to talk and listen to each other. What we hope is that Odegaard is with us for two years. “
Before adding: “Martin Odegaard is very happy after yesterday’s game against Madrid. We will think in the short term and we will consider his future. There is zero chance that he will go to Real Madrid.”

Odegaard received a standing ovation from the Madrid fans last night as they rose to applaud him as he made his way off the pitch after being substituted.
But not everyone was happy with the player, as Sergio Ramos launched into an X-rated insult towards him after being fouled by the ex-Stromsgodset ace.
According to Spanish TV show El Chiringuito de Jugones the literal translation of Ramos’ words to Odegaard were: “Hey, Odegaard! I s*** on your w***e mother!”
