Two Real Madrid Players Linked with Potential January Transfer Departures
In recent years, Real Madrid has bid farewell to several of their longtime stalwart players, with the latest departure being Karim Benzema. While many anticipated the Frenchman extending his contract with the club, he surprised everyone by concluding his legendary stint at Santiago Bernabeu to join Al-Ittihad.
With Benzema’s departure, only Luka Modric and Toni Kroos remain as the last two standing from the club’s Old Guard. However, there is a prevailing sentiment that the Croatian maestro may be the next to head for the exit door.
Modric’s role in the team has diminished notably this season, as he has started only one of the four league games thus far. Publicly, he has expressed his discontent with his current situation, fueling speculation about his future at Real Madrid.
Rumors abound that the Saudi Pro League is closely monitoring Modric’s situation, but he is not the only player on their radar.
As reported by Esport 3, the Saudi Pro League has shown interest in several high-profile players for a potential January transfer window swoop. The list includes the likes of Richarlison, Kevin De Bruyne, Jadon Sancho, Mohamed Salah, Paul Pogba, David Alaba, and Modric himself. It’s a noteworthy collection of talent, ranging from established stars to emerging talents like Sancho, who, despite a challenging period at Manchester United, was once considered a future Ballon d’Or contender.
The unfolding developments regarding Modric and Alaba’s futures will be closely watched. Modric, given his limited playing time and recent 38th birthday, may contemplate an exit, while Alaba remains a pivotal starter for Real Madrid, providing hope that he will continue to contribute to the team’s success in the foreseeable future.
