Real Madrid CEO José Ángel Sánchez has denied speculations about Luka Modric moving to Saudi Pro League in January.
In an interview with GoalAR, Sanchez stated that there are no negotiations on the part of Saudi League officials to include Modric in January.
“Modrić to Saudi in January? There are no negotiations on the part of Saudi League officials to include Luka in January,” he said.
He further added that Madrid have no plans to layoff the player at present; “We have no plans about his departure from the team at the present time.”
The Croatian midfielder has been the subject of interest not only from Saudi Arabia clubs but also from the Major League Soccer side Inter Miami.
Modric has seen reduced game time this season, since the arrival of Jude Bellingham from Borussia Dortmund, leading to interest by several clubs across Europe and beyond.
But the player has also stated his desire to remain at the club and fight for his place in the Carlo Ancelotti’s team.
