At the end of his contract with Real Madrid, Luka Modric has still not received any extension offer from his leaders. The 2018 Ballon d’Or could be gone.
Luka Modric and Real Madrid, is it almost over? The Croatian midfielder is coming to the end of his contract with the Merengues, and there have so far been no discussions with the White House staff, indicates Marca.
Modric was already at the end of his contract with Real Madrid last year, and the situation was quickly resolved after an interview with president Florentino Pérez. Real is used to doing this with its veterans, offering them very short contracts, but time is starting to run out for the 2018 Ballon d’Or.
At 38, still an important player
Marca adds that Modric is wondering about his future. He would like to stay, but would like to ensure that his role remains important in the team. This season, the 38-year-old Croatian is as often a substitute as a starter. Carlo Ancelotti likes to use him as a joker, bringing him in shortly after the hour mark to replace Toni Kroos, for example. But Modric still has legs. Sunday, four days after extra time at Manchester City, Ancelotti made a slight turnover, and Modric played 90 minutes against FC Barcelona (3-2).
In the event of departure, the former Tottenham player would have several options at his disposal, including substantial offers from Saudi Arabia, or a proposal from Dinamo Zagreb, for the end of his career in the country. For Real, the end of the Modric era would be an event. Marca does not hesitate to present him as the greatest No. 10 in the club’s history.
