Real Madrid midfielder has interest from clubs in three leagues, prefers the MLS

Luka Modric is on his way out of Real Madrid and will leave the club after the FIFA Club World Cup next month, not out of his own choice but because the administration did not offer him a renewal.

He departs as the club’s most decorated player in history and could well add another title to his name before he leaves. Yet, it remains unknown as to what the player’s next step will be.

Modric is still a fine player and far from done in the game. It is thus unlikely that he will consider retirement, especially considering that he wishes to play the best FIFA World Cup, and will likely sign for a team in a lower-ranked league.
