The chief executive officer of Real Madrid, Jose Angel Sanchez, has commented on the significant Saudi interest in the team’s best player, Luka Modric.
The Croatian superstar has been heavily linked with a move away from the Spanish capital with multiple Saudi Pro League clubs interested as well as MLS side, Inter Miami. Sanchez, however, has confirmed that the five-time Champions League winner will not depart the club in January.
“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.
