- Modric to Saudi Arabia? "Luka has already decided to stay at Real Madrid," the Italian said. - It's normal for him to be unhappy about getting fewer game minutes, but everyone has their time.

Modric was not in the starting line-up in Real Madrid's first two La Liga matches. The contract of the 37-year-old player with the "cream" is valid until the summer of 2024.
