Real Madrid: Modric wants to “deserve” his extension
Present this Monday at a press conference, on the eve of the knockout stages of the Champions League between Liverpool and Real Madrid, Luka Modric spoke about his future. And the 37-year-old midfielder has expressed his desire to continue with the merengue club, with which he is under contract until the end of the season. Provided you deserve it on the field.
“I haven’t spoken with the club yet. I’m very calm. Every time I’m asked the question, I always answer the same thing: I feel good and I want to stay at Real Madrid, said the Croatian captain. But I have to speak with the club, see what they think and we will see. I want to continue because I deserve it, not because I am offered an extension. I have never been given anything in my life and it’s not going to happen now. Whatever happens, nothing will change my relationship with Real Madrid, it’s the club of my life, no matter what.”
PSG: towards the end of the MNM?
After two first transfer windows failed for different reasons, Luis Campos, PSG’s sports adviser, is already busy behind the scenes to try to draw the outlines of next season’s workforce. At the club, some are thinking of breaking up the MNM. One certainty: Kylian Mbappé will always be at the center of the project. We will therefore have to pay attention to the situations of Neymar and Lionel Messi, whose extension is currently under discussion. No decision will be made in haste. The rest of the season will condition future choices.
Luis Campos has drawn up a list. Midfielders Youssouf Fofana (Monaco) and Kephren Thuram (Nice) are among the names checked. As explained by The L’Équipe channel, Randal Kolo Muani, who is blazing in attack with Frankfurt, is followed, as are Marcus Thuram and Manu Koné, who play in Mönchengladbach. Expensive files for the most part. The profiles of the targeted players: French, young and successful. Impossible to say today if they will succeed, the envelope available to the Parisian sports adviser not yet being known. One of the objectives of the capital club will be to reduce the wage bill. And then, between now and June, there can be a lot going on behind the scenes…
