Real Madrid’s CEO, Jose Angel Sanchez, has addressed the significant interest shown by Saudi clubs in the team’s star player, Luka Modric.
The Croatian football sensation has been the subject of extensive transfer rumors, with numerous Saudi Pro League clubs and even MLS side Inter Miami expressing their interest.
Sanchez, however, has unequivocally stated that the five-time Champions League winner will not be leaving the club during the upcoming January transfer window.
“There are no official negotiations on the part of Saudi League officials to include Luca during next January, and we have no idea about his departure from the team at the present time.” he told Arriyadiyah [Goal Arabic].
While the club is certain that their star midfielder will not leave this winter, Modric has made it very clear that he is unhappy with the playing time he has received under Carlo Ancelotti this season.
It is very likely that the player may leave the club at the end of the season.
Modric and Real Madrid will be in action next when they take on SC Braga on Tuesday, October 24 in the Champions League.
