At the end of his lease in Madrid, Luka Modric is promised to Saudi Arabia. With an insane salary to boot.

At 38, Luka Modric is playing his last season with Real Madrid – the 12the of his career within the White House. At the end of his contract this summer, the Croatian this time will not be back, he who plays less and less under the merengue tunic, very often replaced by Aurélien Tchouaméni or Eduardo Camavinga. And its future destination seems already known.

After a first approach during the last off-season, Al-Ittihad is determined to return to the charge – just to luxuriously complete a squad already rich in Karim Benzema or N’Golo Kanté. The Jeddah club would be so determined that a golden bridge would have been offered to the 2018 Ballon d’Or to take the Saudi step.

Only Ronaldo does better

According to the Spanish press, the Saudi leaders of the club supported by the famous public investment fund (PIF) have drawn up a contract worth 120 million euros per year to attract Luka Modric to their nets, or 10 million euros per month. Emoluments comparable a priori with those of KB9 – bonuses and bonuses included. In the kingdom, in the ranks of Al-Nassr, only Cristiano Ronaldo flies even higher, with 200 million euros per season to his credit.
