The Norweigian was recalled by Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane having spent a loan spell at Real Sociedad but spend the first half of this season on the bench.
It is believed that the Norwegian is not in a good relationship with Zizou with his contract in Spain set to expire in 2023. However, the Madrid board has faith in him that the issue has become a major consideration in Zidane’s future at the club, with the club appearing more likely to renew his contract.
The three other untouchables include the likes of Rodrygo, Fede Valverde, and Vinicius Jr, despite the latter having been linked with a move to Paris Saint-Germain as a makeweight in a deal for Kylian Mbappe.
