The end of an era at Real Madrid. Following Carlo Ancelotti’s departure, another icon says farewell to the Bernabéu: Luka Modric. But don’t expect retirement just yet — the 2018 Ballon d’Or winner is already being courted by some familiar faces.
At 39, Modric played his final minutes in white against Real Sociedad (2-0), leaving the pitch to a standing ovation in the 88th minute. Although the Croatian midfielder hoped to stay, new manager Xabi Alonso has made it clear: no guaranteed role next season. The message? Time to move on.
Messi’s Inter Miami or Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr?
Now a free agent, Modric has no shortage of offers. Inter Miami is leading the race, with Lionel Messi reportedly keen on bringing the maestro to MLS. But Cristiano Ronaldo hasn’t said his last word either: Al-Nassr is in the mix, possibly pushing for a Real reunion in Saudi Arabia. Even Brazilian clubs have expressed interest.
What’s certain is that Luka Modric still has football in his boots — and won’t be hanging them up this summer. Expect a hot transfer window for one of football’s finest midfielders.
