Real Madrid’s Luka Modric replays last season’s final against Liverpool in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16. His speech was more about his future at the Madrid club than the match itself. His renewal is in the air and for the experienced Croatian player an option abroad may be considered, Saudi Arabia is tempting him, as he has already done with other famous figures, Cristiano Ronaldo is the first big impact contract.
“I didn’t talk to the club about my renewal, same as last year at this point – I’m very calm. I keep repeating the same thing: I want to continue here, I feel good, I want to continue. Real Madrid and I need to talk to the club and find out what the club thinks. But I have to deserve it, I don’t want them to give me anything. If they thought I deserved to go on, I would. Whatever happens, nothing can change my relationship with Real Madrid, the club of my life.”
The Madrid football player emphasized that he has been in the white discipline “where the demands are maximum” for 11 years. “Toni (Kroos) and I can’t play together after the World Cup and we’ve played before. We played a lot and won a lot. It doesn’t bother me and I’m used to it”He said he would come. “He didn’t have a good time in January (after the World Cup), but he reassured that he will continue to grow,” Ancelotti said.
“After the World Cup, my plan is to continue to the League of Nations, and I still haven’t decided what to do after that. I want to finish this competition that I started playing. Then I’ll think about it. Real Madrid didn’t want anything from me, they never wanted my resignation because that’s not the club’s style.. The time I spent with the national team did not affect my performance at the club at all,” he concluded by saying about his performance in international football.
