Croatia's proud midfielder Luka Modric (39, Real Madrid) is at a crossroads of choice.

He is considering whether to retire and join the Real Madrid coaching staff or move to another team to continue his career.

 Modric received an offer from Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti for the coaching staff with his retirement in the 2023-2024 season, but refused.

Modric's rejection of the offer is interpreted as meaning that he has no intention of ending his active career yet. Local media predict that Modric will move to Saudi Arabia or the United States, which is taking European big league players with a large amount of money.

Modric has become a symbol since he left Tottenham Hotspur and joined Real Madrid in 2012. Having won three Spanish Primera Liga titles, Modric led Real Madrid to glory by winning five European Champions League titles. Modric won the Ballon d'Or in 2018, which was divided into Lionel Messi of Inter Miami and Cristiano Ronaldo of Al Nasr.

Modric seems to have lost his strength this season. He started only 11 games. Analysts said that he was unlikely to renew his contract with Real Madrid and even offered to retire.

There are also reports that Modric did not completely reject the offer of retirement from Ancelletti. The British edition of The Athletic, a sports media outlet, reported that Modric's priority is to keep playing, but there is also an open possibility that he will accept it depending on the circumstances. Modric is expected to make a final decision after finishing the season well and participating in the 2024 European Championship with Croatia, his homeland.  토토사이트
