Álvaro Odriozola Arzallus (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈalβaɾo oðɾjoˈθola]; born 14 December 1995) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for Real Madrid and Spain. Mainly a right back, he can also play as a winger.[2]
Club career
Real Sociedad
Born in San Sebastián, Basque Country, Odriozola joined Real Sociedad's youth setup in 2006, at the age of ten.[3] On 1 September 2013 he made his senior debut with the reserves, starting in a 0–3 Segunda División B away loss against UD Las Palmas Atlético,[4] and in the same month made the first of several appearances in the UEFA Youth League.[5][6]
Odriozola was definitely promoted to the B-side ahead of the 2014–15 season, and scored his first goal on 6 September 2014 by netting the last in a 3–0 home win against Real Unión.[7] On 25 February 2016, he renewed his contract with Sanse until 2018.[8]
On 16 January 2017, as both Carlos Martínez and Joseba Zaldúa were injured, Odriozola made his first-team – and La Liga – debut by starting in a 2–0 away win against Málaga CF.[9] Until the end of the campaign, he played in a further 16 competitive matches.[10]
Odriozola renewed his contract until 2022 on 10 June 2017, and was definitively promoted to the senior squad ahead of the 2017–18 season, quickly becoming the first-choice right-back.[11] He scored his first professional goal on 15 February 2018, in the 2–2 draw with FC Red Bull Salzburg for the UEFA Champions League's round of 32 at Anoeta Stadium.[12]
Real Madrid
On 5 July 2018, Real Madrid reached an agreement with Real Sociedad for the transfer of Odriozola.[13][14] The fee was reported to be €30 million, plus €5 million of conditional add-ons.[15] He made his debut on 22 September, playing the full 90 minutes in a 1–0 win over RCD Espanyol.[16]
International career
Odriozola was first selected to play for Spain under-21s by Albert Celades, helping the squad reach the final of the 2017 UEFA European Championship.[10] He earned his first full cap for Spain on 6 October 2017, in a 3–0 win over Albania for the 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifiers; he played the entire match, and also provided an assist for Thiago Alcântara's goal as the team reached the finals as group winners.[17]
Odriozola was named in the 23-man squad for the finals in Russia.[18] He scored his first goal for his country on 3 June 2018, in a 1–1 friendly draw with Switzerland in Villarreal.[19]
