Real Madrid has the best players on the planet, which has sparked interest from Arabia to try to bring them to its championship. There is much talk about the possible departure of Vinícius, but a case that is gaining a lot of strength in recent weeks is that of Luka Modric, whose contract ends soon. On June 30, the Croatian can leave for free and once again has the possibility of playing in the Middle Eastern country on the table.
In 2023, Modric received a strong proposal from Arabia to go there, but he decided to reject it. His future was hanging in the air for a long time, but he preferred to continue at Real Madrid to be in top form for the Euro Cup. Two years later, the Arabs have returned to the charge, but with one caveat: they want him there, although offering him much less money.
Bernabéu Digital has revealed that the new proposal from Arabia "has a catch" for Luka Modric, who would earn much less than two years ago. The main reason for this decision is the Croatian's age, as he will soon turn 40. The other reason is clear: the championship there is at a different point than it was two years ago, so a figure like his is no longer as necessary.
Luka Modric Talks with Vinícius
There is much talk about Arabia's interest in the Real Madrid locker room. Luka Modric has discussed this matter several times with Vinícius, indicating that his priority is to continue at Santiago Bernabéu. He has never been driven by money, and now, with less on the table, it won't be any different.
Modric knows he has the power of decision, as Florentino will abide by any decision he makes. What he wants is to continue at Real Madrid, intending to be in top form for the next World Cup.
Taking all this into account, the idea is clear: renew with Madrid until 2026. Florentino wants the captain to stay and will provide all the facilities for this to happen.
Doubts with Vinícius at Real Madrid
Meanwhile, Modric has no intention of going to Arabia, especially after seeing the economic proposal reduced, a different case is that of Vinícius. They are going all out: in one year, he would earn more than in his entire career if he continues at Real Madrid.
He is considering it, although there is no decision at the moment. Luka Modric is trying to convince him to stay and reject Arabia, but you never know.
