According to the newspaper Marca, Luka Modric, the central midfielder of La Liga club Real Madrid and captain of the Croatian national team, will leave los Blancos following the transfer of Paris Saint-Germain forward Kylian Mbappe.
As reported to Marca by journalist Ramon Alvarez de Mon, after the departure of the 38-year-old Croatian from los Blancos, Mbappe will receive the number ten jersey, a number Modric also wore during his time at the Paris club and the French national team. The 25-year-old forward announced his departure from PSG on May 10.
The decision seems to have already been made. Mbappe will inherit the number 10.
Mbappe, 25, has already announced his departure from PSG, but has not named his new team. According to some reports, the player will move to Real Madrid. Official confirmation is expected after the Champions League final on June 1.
On April 23, AS reported Modric's desire to continue his career with the Royal Club. Modric's current contract with los Blancos expires at the end of June 2024. According to Transfermarks, his market value is eight million euros.
In 29 La Liga matches of the 2023/2024 season, the midfielder scored two goals and provided five assists. Modric also played ten matches in the Champions League.
