Luka Modric is reportedly considering leaving Real Madrid this summer amid lucrative interest from Saudi Arabia.
Luka Modric has been a key player for Real Madrid over a number of years, and his departure will certainly come as a blow to them. According to Ramon Alvarez from MARCA, the long-serving midfielder has now received a lucrative offer from Saudi Arabia and is considering it.
Modric has a contract with Real Madrid until the end of this month, and there have been rumours that he could sign an extension with them soon. It remains to be seen whether he is ready to extend his stay at Santiago Bernabeu and turn down the lucrative offer from Saudi Arabia.
The 37-year-old is undoubtedly one of the best players of his generation, and he has helped Real Madrid win countless trophies during his time at the club. The Croat is undoubtedly a Real Madrid legend, and the Spanish giants must do everything in their power to convince him to stay.
Although he is 37, he is still good enough to play at the highest level, and he would improve most teams in the world. Modric might feel that he has won everything there is to win in European football and could be open to a new adventure. Also, Real Madrid will not offer him the kind of money he would earn in Saudi Arabia.

Players like Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema have moved to Saudi Arabia recently. Now, it remains to be seen whether Modric is ready to follow in the footsteps of his former Real Madrid teammates. The Spanish giants have already lost Benzema, and they will not want to lose another key player in the same window.
Convincing Modric to stay at the club should be their top priority. So it remains to be seen how the situation develops. That said, with Jude Bellingham arriving at the Santiago Bernabeu this summer, the veteran midfielder’s potential departure might not have an intense effect.
Apart from his quality as a footballer, the 37-year-old’s availability makes him an indispensable asset for Carlo Ancelotti. The midfielder played 52 games for Real Madrid last season, and it would be a near-impossible task for Real Madrid to replace him this summer.
