Arab News reported that Cristiano Ronaldo is constantly building his wings at Al-Nassr with the name being targeted as former teammate Luka Modric.
Accordingly, the Portuguese striker is asking Al-Nassr BLD to bring Real Madrid midfielder Luka Modrić to Mrsool Park after the 2022/23 season of European football ends.
Earlier, according to Mundo Deportivo, the Al Nassr leadership approached Luka Modric with the hope of signing the 2018 World Cup runner-up right after completing the Ronaldo deal. The giants of football in Saudi Arabia want to build a strong squad to compete with Al Hilal in the domestic tournament, as well as set the ambition to win the AFC Champions League.
Currently, Modric is in the final months of his contract with Real Madrid. He is currently free to negotiate with other clubs if he wants to leave on a free basis. However, Marca revealed that Modric turned down an offer from Al Nassr because he still wants to stay with Real Madrid for another season before thinking about his future in the summer of 2024.
However, there is no sign that the 2018 Ballon d’Or will extend the contract, as Modric personally and Real’s leadership are still having problems in the negotiation process. Daily mail revealed, Los Blancos have asked Modric to retire from playing for the national football team if he wants to continue playing at the Bernabeu.
It is not too difficult to understand when the reigning Champions League champion wants Luka Modric to devote all his time to the club. Because this midfielder is about to turn 38 and cannot maintain his full fitness as before. However, Real Madrid’s condition is too difficult for Modric. Because after the 2022 World Cup, the Croatia captain revealed that he will extend his international career in an attempt to win the UEFA Nations League.
