Horvath initially refused but is still considering the offer
Head coach Real Madrid’s Carlo Ancelotti offered to the midfielder Luka Modric the opportunity to take a place on the Blancos coaching staff if the Croatian retires at the end of the season.
The midfielder initially rejected the offer. It is reported that this was not a categorical refusal, and Luke is still considering this possibility. At the same time, the priority for the 38-year-old midfielder is to continue his playing career.
It was previously reported that several Saudi Arabian clubs tried to formalize Modric’s transfer this winter. Al-Ittihad, for which ex-Real Madrid player Karim Benzema plays, offered the Croatian a double increase in wages, and the Saudi Pro League was ready to pay one million dollars for the transfer.
Modric has been playing for Blancos since 2012. During this time, Luca won three Spanish titles, won the Champions League five times, won the Club World Cup multiple times, as well as other Spanish and continental trophies. While playing for Madrid, Modric won the Ballon d’Or in 2018.
This season, Luka has played 28 matches for the club in all competitions. The midfielder has one goal and six assists.
Real Madrid leads La Liga with a six-point lead over Girona. The Blancos’ next match will host Sevilla on February 25.
