Real Madrid handed Martin Odegaard's father a coaching job with a hugely inflated salary to help secure his son's signature, according to Football Leaks.
The Spanish giants completed the signing of a then-16-year-old Odegaard in January 2015.
The midfielder arrived at the Bernabeu with a lofty reputation having made his senior international debut aged 15, and it has now been alleged that Madrid offered the player's father a lucrative role in order to smooth the deal.
Norwegian outlet VG claims to have seen documents from Football Leaks which show that Hans Erik Odegaard received a contract worth around £2.7m on the same day that his son joined los Blancos.
Odegaard Sr. was offered a role as assistant coach of Madrid's Under-11s, but the salary was around 10 times higher than the usual rate.
He had previously been working as a coach at Mjondalen, a club which was not even competing in Norway's top flight at the time.
