Midfielder of Real Madrid Luka Modric It looks like he will have a legendary stint at the club at the end of this summer, 13 years after joining Los Blancos. However, he has no intention of retiring.
Modric has been frustrated by the lack of games he has had this season, having been promised he would remain a key player when he renewed his deal last summer. Modric rejected an approach from Saudi Arabia last summer that could have earned him hundreds of millions of euros.
It looks like he'll be leaving this season, though The Athletic report that the conversation between Modric and Real Madrid it didn't happen. They say that if he leaves, then he is likely to join another team in Europe, or go to Major League Soccer in the United States, which appeals more than the Saudi Pro League where former teammates Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema are gone. .
This is in line with the idea that Modric is keen to make it to the 2026 World Cup with Croatia, with MLS generally considered a stronger league than its Saudi counterpart. Where exactly the 38-year-old will go in Europe is not clear, but he probably won't be short of offers, having shown in recent weeks that he still has a lot of quality to offer.
