Serie A giants Roma have become the latest side to join the race for 15-year-old Norwegian sensation Martin Odegaard.
The midfielder, who became the youngest ever player to play for Norway earlier this year when he turned out in a friendly against the United Arab Emirates, is a hot property.
Odegaard, who turns out for Stromsgodset at club level, has attracted attention from a whole host of Europe's elite.
Manchester United have been consistently at the front of the queue for the Norwegian, while Real Madrid have promised to make him a millionaire if he agrees to continue his football education at the Bernabeu.
Italian champions Juventus, Dutch giants Ajax and English side Liverpool are also keeping a close watch on Odegaard's situation.
