Modrić Nearing a Decision — Family Prefers This Destination Over Money
The Croatian legend eyes MLS as his next chapter after Real Madrid farewell
Luka Modrić has officially said goodbye to Real Madrid… but not entirely just yet. The legendary midfielder will still wear the white shirt one final time at the FIFA Club World Cup, giving fans one last glimpse of his elegance on the ball before he closes this historic chapter.
But what comes next? That’s the question on everyone’s mind — and now we might be getting closer to an answer.
🇺🇸 MLS Over Millions?
According to reputable transfer journalist Santi Aouna, multiple clubs have made formal contact with Modrić. Among them:
- Al-Nassr
- Al-Ettifaq
- Inter Miami
While Saudi Arabia offers astronomical sums, the real surprise is this:
“The United States is currently the preferred destination for Modrić’s family.“
Though the MLS may not match the Saudi Pro League in financial muscle, the lifestyle, security, and culture seem to weigh more heavily in the Modrić family’s decision-making process. A sign of their priorities — and of Luka’s character.
🗣 Modrić on Family and Farewell
In his tearful farewell at the Santiago Bernabéu, Modrić paid tribute not only to the fans but especially to his family:
“They give me stability, peace. My wife and kids have supported me through everything — especially the tough times. They’re my pillars. I can only thank them and tell them how much I love them.”
He added:
“The greatest trophy for me is the love from Madridistas. That love is forever. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”
On his career-defining moments in Madrid, he didn’t hesitate:
“There have been many magical nights at the Bernabéu, but I’ll never forget the comeback against PSG in 2022. I said then, ‘If we beat them, we’ll win the Champions League.’ And we did.”
🔚 A Legend’s Next Move
As Modrić prepares for the final match of his Real Madrid career, it’s becoming clear: his next destination won’t just be about trophies or money — it will be about life after football, family, and a graceful transition out of the European spotlight.
Inter Miami, with David Beckham at the helm and a growing cast of stars, could soon welcome another legend. If so, Luka Modrić won’t just bring world-class football — he’ll bring dignity, humility, and leadership to the MLS.
