Modric Already Knows Where He Will Play Next Season if He Doesn't Renew With Real Madrid

The saga that Real Madrid must solve to clarify Luka Modric's future returns with even more strength after the defeat against Valencia at Santiago Bernabéu. The Balkan midfielder, at almost 40 years old, remains relevant in the European soccer elite... but he does so as a substitute and rotation player in Carlo Ancelotti's schemes.

The Reggiolo coach continues to trust blindly in the white player, whose future at Real Madrid could end in two months, when his current contract with the club expires. In that case, it remains to be seen if the current '10' of Madrid would seek to continue his career away from the European soccer elite: offers, in that case, are not lacking.

According to information from José Félix Díaz, the Real Madrid midfielder has offers from clubs in Qatar to continue his sports career away from Real Madrid. The MARCA journalist points out that, despite these attempts, the European midfielder "is waiting for Real Madrid" to try to negotiate one more renewal.

Despite the intentions of the Croatian footballer, who will wait for the decision of the Madrid bosses, "there has been no contact between the club and the player so far". Likewise, this veteran reporter recalls that "the situation is very similar to last season", when there were also reasonable doubts about his permanence in the first team.

Present Dilemma

"In a few days, they will talk again and make a decision," concludes José Félix Díaz about Luka Modric's future at Real Madrid. The approaches from Qatar to try to secure the '10' of Madrid have increased over time. But it is not the first time that other clubs have presented their candidacy to secure his soccer services.

Real Madrid, after the 22/23 season, had to hold its breath in a new 'Modric case' given the offers from Saudi Arabia. Despite the high salaries promised by several teams in the Saudi Pro League, Luka Modric decided to continue in Santiago Bernabéu locker room with a new role.

Now that he has settled into that role as a substitute, a change forced by his age, Luka Modric could leave Real Madrid for good. The main point in favor of his renewal is the good performance he is delivering in the final stretch of this season.

The possibility of being in the 2026 United States World Cup also influences: it will be easier to receive that call from Zlatko Dalic if he remains in the white team. The advances from Qatar in signing Luka Modric are not new in the Valdebebas offices, where they have not yet made a decision about his most immediate future.
