The Norwegian, who spent last season on loan at Vitesse Arnhem, was one of Ajax’s top targets this summer and they were hopeful of reaching a loan agreement with Real Madrid.
However, Ajax must now look elsewhere with Voetbal International reporting that Ødegaard is on the verge of joining Bayer Leverkusen.
The 20-year-old was spotted in Germany with his agent on Thursday and is expected to wrap up the deal shortly.
