The Spanish newspaper "Sport" said that Croatian star Luka Modric decided to leave the ranks of Real Madrid for the Saudi League "Roshen League", after his chances of participating with Los Blancos this season decreased. The Croatian midfielder has started just five of Real Madrid's 17 matches in all competitions this season, with new signing Jude Bellingham becoming the focal point in midfield and attack. The Spanish newspaper indicated that Modric, 38, will leave Real Madrid when his contract expires at the end of the current season, and it is expected that he will retire from playing in the Saudi Professional League. Modric's name has been linked to Al-Ahly and Al-Ittihad clubs, and if he decides to move to the club, he will team up with his friend, the French star Karim Benzema, who together won many titles at the Santiago Bernabeu. It is noteworthy that Modric refused to leave the Merengue ranks last summer, after an offer worth 120 million pounds sterling per season.
