Recently, there have been many ʀᴜᴍᴏʀs about the La Liga legend going to Saudi Arabia to play for the rest of his career.
Al Nassr club made a sensational transfer in the final weeks of 2022 when they were successful in luring superstar Cristiano Ronaldo. Ronaldo will reportedly receive a huge salary from the Saudi Arabian team, up to nearly $250 million annually.
Al Nassr didn’t just stop there; it was reported that he persistently pressed for the ᴘᴜʀᴄʜᴀsᴇ of elite European superstars like Sergio Busquets, Kante, and Eden Hazard, demonstrating his tremendous ambition.
Recently, there have been ʀᴜᴍᴏʀs that Al Nassr wants to reunite Luka Modric with Cristiano Ronaldo by bringing the midfielder back. This agreement may be terminated because the Croatian captain’s Real Madrid contract is set to expire at the end of this current campaign and the extension has not yet been approved.
Modric, however, has recently spoken out about his future. The 37-year-old conductor subsequently refuted ʀᴜᴍᴏʀs about Al Nassr and declared his intention to stick with Los Blancos.
“It’s no sᴇᴄʀᴇᴛ that I want to stay at Real Madrid. I think it will happen and I hope it does. All the other information is conjecture and ʀᴜᴍᴏʀ. I hope and believe that I will stay at Real Madrid, which I reiterate 100 times.
The greatest players in Real Madrid history are Ronaldo and Modrid. Real Madrid’s ability to win three consecutive Champions League championships as well as a plethora of other significant and minor titles is largely due to this duo.
Rejecting many invitations, Zinedine Zidane decided to wait for Real Madrid
Zinedine Zidane hasn’t had a coaching position since leaving Real Madrid in 2021, and he’s currently taking a break. When this season is over, the French tactician is anticipated to go back to coaching.
In particular, according to FICHAJES, Zidane is reportedly “waiting” for a move from current Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti before making a final decision, even though he has not yet decided where he will play in the future. When there was a time when it seemed like Juventus or PSG were interested in ZiZou’s leadership, the former French midfielder has plenty of options.
However, Zidane himself also stated that he will wait for Ancelotti’s decision because the possibility of going back to Madrid is currently also starting to look like a pretty good option. Zidane is “willing to accept the notion of succeeding an Italian coach, whose continuation at Real Madrid does not appear to be guaranteed,” according to FICHAJES.
At a time when the former France midfielder was about to leave, President Florentino Perez on the Los Blancos side of the team restored the spirit of cooperation between him and Zidane after their previous disagreements. As a result, this will make future negotiations between the two parties easier to conduct. Of course, President Perez is also willing to consider other proposals, such as those from Pochettino or Raul Gonzalez, a team legend.
If Zidane returns to Madrid, it is likely that the French tactician will once again lead Los Blancos to the pinnacle of success. Zidane is a fantastic coach who guided Real Madrid to the throne three times in this venue, making his return all the more amazing.
