Luka Modric is once again in the sights of emerging football markets. This time, it is Qatar that has launched an offensive with the aim of convincing the veteran Croatian midfielder to join their league next season. The emirate's desire is to have an international figure of Modric's caliber, who at 38 years old continues to show an enviable level at Real Madrid.
Despite Qatar's interest, Modric has reiterated several times that his desire is to end his career at the white club. However, there are currently no discussions underway to extend his contract, which expires next summer. A situation similar to last year, when he ended up renewing for another season after a direct talk with Florentino Pérez.
A Multimillion-Dollar Offer on the Table
The Croatian midfielder, who arrived at Madrid in 2012, remains a key piece in Carlo Ancelotti's plans. Although he was expected to have a more secondary role this season, the reality is that he has started in most of the important matches, demonstrating that his football remains decisive. He has already played 47 games between club and country, and all signs point to him surpassing the 75-game mark before the season ends.
Qatar aims to raise the level of its league, still far from the media power that Saudi Arabia has achieved. Modric's presence would be a significant coup. According to Marca, the Croatian previously rejected a multimillion-dollar offer from Al Ahli, but time is ticking, and the temptation to end his career in an exotic destination (with an astronomical salary) might weigh more this time. Everything is yet to be decided.
