Modric has already answered a hundred times about moving to Al-Nasr, he says that he really hopes to stay in Real Madrid, but the contract has not yet been signed. Perhaps there is nothing wrong with this, if a player feels that he is in good shape and can continue to play at a high level, then why should he not continue to play for his team. In any case, if his performance deteriorates, Ancelotti can always replace him.
There is also the problem that with age the likelihood of injury increases, remember how many injuries Ibrahimovic had when he continued to play in recent years. But Modric always seemed to be doing well, I don’t remember him spending much time with any kind of injury.
I heard that Real Madrid demand Modric to not play for Croatia if he want to stay in Real Madrid for the next season, which may his biggest reason to think carefully before make a decision. Yeah, in the recent years, Modric never suffered any serious injury, it's mostly below 10 days. What make it interesting, the older Modric is, the injury time become shorter, unlike other matured players. Check https://www.transfermarkt.com/luka-modric/verletzungen/spieler/27992He is very close to becoming a Real Madrid legend. I think instead of going to the Arabian League, he should accept everything Real Madrid will ask of him and sign a contract with Real Madrid for one or two more years and jubilee at Real Madrid. In fact, it is more rational to transfer to the Arabian League and earn extra retirement bonuses, but a jubilee at Real Madrid could turn him into a legend. I think it's better for him to stay at Real Madrid because I'm more emotional than rational about these things. Besides, there are no footballers who have done that in the last years, everyone thinks that making more money is the first priority.

It appears that Napoli has not given up on pursuing Conte as a new coach since there was no good coach who can perform as good as spallet. Winning scudetto has been triggering the club to perform even better and it was also forcing the president to spend more money in order to recruit a good coach for napoli. Napoli's president understands that the club requires someone who has extensive experience in driving club performance and this could be the main motivation for him to send another offer for conte. Recently, there has been renewed speculation that Napoli will make another offer for Conte which is even bigger compared to the previous one. Napoli is now seriously considering offering Conte a new contract, given that the club has yet to find a suitable coach to manage the club and what do you think guys? Is conte good for napoli? Napoli has tried to put former of spalletti's asistant manager to handle the squad but spalleti is spalleti. Napoli are preparing a huge offer for Antonio Conte as the Italian manager's reunion with Harry Kane at Bayern Munich now looks unlikely. https://www.goal.com/en/lists/antonio-conte-harry-kane-reunion-bayern-munich-doubtful-napoli-make-huge-offer/blt407646fd7a693451After Spalletti departure to the Italian national team, Napoli continued to change coaches and even this season they have used the services of Rudi Garcia, Walter Mazzarri and now Francesco Calzona as interim coach to help Napoli until the end of the season, I think the repeated changes of coach in one season actually made Napoli's performance worse as it is today, Compared to the previous two coaches, Francesco Calzona can still lift Napoli's current performance but of course Napoli cannot keep him longer because he is still under contract with the Slovakian national team. I think if Napoli want to repeat the success of 2022/23 when they won the Scudetto of course they should be able to find a top coach and have good experience in coaching clubs in Italy, reportedly Napoli are approaching Conte who is indeed unemployed after Conte was sacked by Tottenham, I think Conte's experience in coaching many big teams including Juventus and Intermilan will certainly promise a lot of changes for Napoli next season, Napoli are also ready to give more than €100m to Conte to strengthen the Napoli squad next season and if that materialises then I'm pretty sure Napoli will be able to be Scudetto contenders like they did last season.

Anceloti bench Modric many times this season and I think that has to do with his age. What's the point of making him play when he can easily sustain injury, he is not as active as before, I think it's right time he pick another club and continue his journey, there are more of young players in the club that are young and can do better than in every way but I respect him for his experience.
It's obvious Modric want to turn the Real Madrid to a family club and loyalty and football doesn't work like that unless he is ready to settle for the position they gave him which is to be assisting as the part of the coach. Who knows one day when Anceloti leave the club, he will replace the coach position just like the way Zidane did back then and his contributions is always remember anytime Real Madrid achievement is been discussed.
Luca Modric is 38, but never underestimate his work ethic for his team, Real Madrid. Currently, as we know, Real Madrid has a stock of midfielders, including two seniors, including Kroos and Luca Modric. However, Ancelotti more often reserves this player from Croatia. This season, Don Carlo only played Modric as the main starter 12 times out of his 25 matches with Real Madrid. in particular, Modric started when one of their young midfielders was injured. that's normal, apart from his age. However, Ancelotti still really needs him as an established player in his team. This time his role is not only on the field, but on the training ground. His contribution to Real Madrid's young midfielders is enormous. That's why the Croatian midfielder is still with Real Madrid even though his duties are not the same as when he was still heavily relied on. I don't follow developments regarding Modric with Real Madrid, but I would really appreciate it if he really hung up his shoes at Real Madrid. Modric already has everything, he no longer needs to move clubs and play with other clubs in other leagues. moreover, for the Saudi Pro League. he is a Madrid legend, it is natural for him to end his career at the club and team he considers his home and family. as you said, it is possible that Modric will still be part of Real Madrid even though he is no longer a player.

At the age of 38, of course Luka Modrić is no longer able to compete in playing in the top European leagues, so it is only fitting that Luka Modrić spends the rest of his career playing in the Saudi Arabian league to collect more money and also there the league is not competitive making him Luka Modrić can still compete in showing his performance, which is different if he stays at Real Madrid.
I didn’t even notice modric is 38 years already because he still plays as if he is in his early 30’s, he still a lot of potential in him to offer a club but if Madrid is looking for his replacement then i think they are the doing the right thing for the club because he is old already and for a team like Madrid that demands much for players he would not fit anymore. Madrid have spent so much money on young players and they need to create space for the young ones to develop into great players. Saudi league is not like before, it is very much competitive as other leagues and a lot of European players are playing their. Modric can be exceptional there but he still have to put in efforts because even Ngolo Kante said the league is not as he pictured it to be and it’s more competitive than how people see it. The main reason why Madrid always gives Modric short term contracts until this season is because of his leadership spirit, which is difficult to find in young players even though they have better physicality and strength. However, it looks like this season will be the last season for Modric, as we know the age factor is a major obstacle, and I see Modric has helped the transition period go well. Ancelotti certainly does not doubt the bargaining value of a player of Modric caliber, who can still make a difference to the outcome of a match even though he is 38 years old. Competition in midfield will become increasingly fierce, Ancelotti must prioritize young players and give them more time, in order to ensure regeneration goes according to plan and safeguard the club interests in the coming seasons. Clubs from the Saudi Pro League will definitely see this opportunity, meaning the opportunity to recruit Modric because he has started to be pushed out of Madrid main squad, and Modric has the profile they want. Saudi Pro League clubs usually look for big name players, and Modric is suitable to increase the prestige of the Saudi League by signing him.

What Ancelotti did with Modric was to provide more space for his young players to build a solid squad in the position that Modric would leave. Because the aim is to prepare a longterm squad and his contract at Madrid has never been extended. Madrid will have plenty of time at least to slowly fill the midfielder void. I understand Ancelotti goals and maybe Kross can still be a starter because his contract has been extended but that doesn't mean his position will not be replaced. Ancelotti needs time until next season because several new players will be brought in. The problem with Modric future is that he could retire or, as is rumored play in the SPL.

Modric is not a scorer like those two, so it Is not clear indicator on how he plays, but basically if he doesn't get injured and plays almost all games then yeah he will be good. They can pay him 100+ million a year, he would be famous enough to do that, but at the same time it wouldn't be easy to convince him neither. Just because he is there, doesn't mean that he would be willing to play, that Is why it is a risky move to pay that much to him. If modric is in a team that has players willing to play, he also is going to be willing to play. Modric in a team that has Ronaldo and all the players that Al-Nassr FC has will make Modric to be willing to play because he'll be getting the motivation to win trophies. Ronaldo changed the mentality of the Al nassr players but Benzema thinks he came for vacation and he's only enjoying himself while the team is doing all the work, this is why he has being playing badly. Ronaldo teams has Sadio mane and others always trying to win every single game therefore modric should be very selective of the teams that he'll be going to join or he'll end up becoming a bad footballer as Benzema is becoming. Saudi leagues isn't competitive to the standard of trying to be a solo player, you need everyone in the team to have an impact on matches and winning them. Amongst the names mentioned to join Al Nassr are both Casemiro and Luka Modric who Real Madrid has no plans of extending his contract, they have been linked before but it seems clearly and possible this time around ad Manchester United are opened towards cashing out big from the sale of Casemiro if he eventually joins Saudi Arabian Premier League Competition. Ronaldo's a great idol, the world doesn't need too much talks from him, the records and all he has achieved speaks for him. And also in a team, one man cannot do it all, this is the reasons why Karim is suffering. They have literally expected too much from him. I can't day the plans of Luka Modric though, old but still quality enough to bring in creativity and productivity. He is still good enough for Real Madrid, it's just that they have to do this the hard way so they can build around other younger players like Àrda Guler.
