Oh boy. Ohhhhh boy.
While it is smart to avoid an overreaction at this time, more and more reports suggest that Luka Modrić will not renew his contract with Real Madrid this summer.
The news comes shortly after the club announced that Xabi Alonso would take over as manager, yet previous reports shared that Alonso was very interested in keeping Modrić around. Modrić has been with Real Madrid since 2012 and has become one of the club’s greatest players of all time. An exit would leave supporters around the world shocked and heartbroken.
Madrid Xtra, Madrid Zone, and more credible social media pages are reporting the news taken from Spanish media outlet COPE. While this could all turn out to be a hoax, we advise that you prepare for Modrić to announce his departure from the Spanish club sometime later this week.
Six UEFA Champions League trophies, four La Liga titles, a Ballon d’Or, and so much more. If this is the end for Modrić at Real Madrid as a player, what a career it’s been.
Stay tuned for more news surrounding the rumor.

Will there be a simulcast for the Sunday HNL games ?
Meaning 1 channel where you can watch all 4 games at the same time
Kovacic heel surgery out 3 months
Saudi trying to give Broz his 8m to leave early (instead of 25m salary next yr)
Clearly they don’t know Broz – he’ll just chill in Saudi for a year and blow thru the 25m and post career blow the rest on ladies, booz, 🎉 favours and frozen 🍕
We all new he went there for the money, like he cares about winning a title over there.
💯
Ronaldo leaving end of session (apparently) so without him they want to clear all the other old players out to make room for young new players
There is a long list of players that that have just chilled for a year or two at end of their contract and taken every penny when their club didn’t want them to play anymore
They clearly have no idea what type of person Broz is – he won’t take a discount – and he should – suck every last penny out of Saudi who are using these players to build up their league
He signed a temp contract to play in the Club World Cup…so we will still get to see Luka for a bit longer playing for Madrid.
Everyone get used to it and move on Modric is done. Yes a legend but now it’s bench player for both Real and NT.
He wasn’t a bench player, he played the majority of the games. But his age was starting to show in certain games, where he was playing too many successive games.
There is a difference. But yes people do need to move on eventually as the time is slowly approaching when he may retire.
He didn’t retire yet though.
Wow, thought it was almost a certainty that he would end his career with Real… Where does he go next? Back to Dinamo, MLS, hopefully not Saudi?
Hopefully Dinamo, but I think he can still have one more good season in La Liga, or Serie A if he finds the right club.
Hopefully this is just a rumour. Just a few days ago the rumour was that he was going to re-sign. Fingers crossed. If Luka doesn’t get a new contract, Saturday will be his last game at the Bernabeu, and it sounds like they aren’t planning any formal send-off. It would be really sad if Luka didn’t get big emotional farewell from the home crowd after so many years of faithful service.
Nevermind…he announced that he is leaving. So sad.
Shitty, I could have sworn that I read an article the other day which said the opposite.
Modrić has had an incredible career with Real Madrid. As a fan of the Croatian National Squad and of Croatian soccer, Modrić was the best thing that ever happened to Croatian soccer. Not only is he one of the best midfielders in the sport, but he has always shown class as a player. Not many people do that. I have been routing all these years for him to win a world cup with Croatia, I still hope that he does at the twilight of his career and that he still has an opportunity to play in the World Cup, and at a decent club after he leaves Real Madrid. We will see.
Hvala Modrić sa sve!
Za sve, that is lol! Gotta love auto correct.

Igor scored 2G and 1A y’day in the 7-1 vs. Weimer
So that’s 4G in last 2 games
Also, Niko Illicevic scored goal too

Lastly, Marco scored a world-class goal for Orlando y’day (the exact type of goal potential we need on the NT – drive down the wing – cut inside – and let it fly into the corner) – have you convinced Orlando yet to release him ?

And yes, T*ttenham will be in the CHAMPIONS LEAGUE next year, so will require a very large squad, which is good for our Luka Vuskovic (on the flip slide Romero (who Vuskovic is closest in profile) and Mickey VDV (what a goal-line clearance in the 68′ minute) are less likely to go to Real Madrid now, even moreso after Huijsen is already going) 😊
Ange reminded everyone in September that he ALWAYS wins in his 2nd year – and tonight he backed it up
Anyone else notice that Adriano Jagusic follows T*ttenham on IG ?
