Martin Odegaard: "Madrid will always sign good players, that's important for the club, they want to be the best club in the world and that's normal. I'm dreaming to be the best I can be. You never know what happens in football but my dream, and what I'm hoping for is to play for Madrid."

Navas the club wanted him to stay and he decided to leave despite the club trying to convince him to stay.

Then why did we buy Courtois and Zidane said Courtois will be first team no matter what.

Higuain was better then Benz and Carlo tried to convince him to stay.

Come-on man. I should just quit writing after reading that.

Di Maria was offered a new contract which he turned down. Sounds like the club wanted him to stay, no?

We bought James and Kroos - how the hell will you play James, Kroos, Bale, Isco, Casemiro, Modric all wanting the starting minutes in 4 positions?

Ozil was offered a new contract but he wanted more so he left on his own decision.

Nope I remember it vividly he wanted to stay but he won't be first team player with Bale and Isco's arrival. (And Bale was in fact a superior replacement)
