Luka Modric’s future at Real Madrid has been in doubt for some time now, and now it looks as if his continuity at Real Madrid could be further jeopardized. According to revelations by journalist Ekrem Konur, the Croatian midfielder could seriously consider leaving the Santiago Bernabéu after the departure of his teammate Karim Benzema.
Modric, 37, has been a fundamental pillar in Real Madrid’s midfield in recent seasons. However, with the sudden departure of Benzema, the Croatian would be assessing his continuity since he is in the same situation as the Frenchman. The club has not yet announced the renewal of his contract and this could lead Modric to open up to new projects.

According to Ekrem Konur, Al Hilal, a Saudi league club, would be willing to offer Modric a disproportionate salary in order to convince him to join their ranks. It is rumored that the offer exceeds 100 million euros, a figure that Real Madrid could hardly match. This financial proposition could tempt the veteran Croatian midfielder to consider a change of scenery.
The uncertainty surrounding Modric’s renewal has been a recurring theme in recent months. Although the player has expressed his desire to continue at Real Madrid on several occasions, the lack of an official announcement from the club has generated speculation about his future. Al Hilal’s proposal could further complicate the negotiations and torpedo his continuity at the white club.
He is the engine and soul of the team
The possible departure of Modric would represent a significant loss for Real Madrid. His experience, his vision of the game and his technical quality have been key pieces in the team’s successes in recent years. However, time is ticking for the Croatian midfielder, and if an agreement is not reached soon, Al Hilal could become a tempting option for him.
