Former player and sports director at real madridPredrag Mijatovic claims that Luka Modric “He will not arrive in an exotic championship.”
A living legend of Real, Predrag (Pedja) Mijatovic spoke about the future of Luka Modric, after his separation from Real Madrid. The club decided not to continue with the Croatian “veteran” (39 years old), whose contract expires at the end of the current season, and Mijatovic has shown “a little sad. Modric is probably the most complete player who has ever evolved on Santiago Bernabeu. He gave a lot to the real, but also Real offered him a lot.”
Predrag Mijatovic: “Madrid decided otherwise”
In an intervention in the show “El Larguero”, he revealed that “Luka wanted a year of contract, so that it would be in the best form at the World Cup 2026. But Madrid decided differently and probably had the moment that every one is on another road.”

Good friend with the Croatian international, the Montenegrin knows where he will take it. “I tell you that it will certainly not reach an exotic championship. I know him very well.”
Predrag Mijatovic: “You don't know how Luka Modric thinks. I have never seen such a thing in my life.”
Moreover, he believes that Modric will continue his career in a top European championship, even at 39! “Luka wants to evolve at the highest level and be good, and the five major leagues can offer him. You don't know how this kid thinks.
I see him playing in Europe: in England, Italy or Germany. Not in Spain, it's clear. But do not be surprised if it will arrive in England, where the speeds are 240 km/h. Do not be surprised if it will arrive in Italy or Germany, because many teams want it. In any case, it will not rush and, wherever it goes, it will do everything to remain competitive and important ”, stressed Real Madrid's former striker.
