The coach of Real Madrid has directly addressed the situation of Luka Modric, who has not been a regular starter since the beginning of the season.
Carlo Ancelotti talks about Modric’s case. The Croatian, who hasn’t been a regular starter this season, remains in the shadows. Carlo Ancelotti spoke to the press, saying, « I talk to him every day. He’s not happy, obviously, but he’s still very motivated. Nobody is like him in the locker room; he’s the leader. His importance is maximum. I like him a lot, we all do. »
Despite stiff competition in midfield, Carlo Ancelotti confirms that Luka Modric will not leave during the January 2024 transfer window. Ancelotti stated:
« The fact that Modrić is not playing affects us all. It affects me, it affects his teammates, and everyone who loves him. But his motivation has not changed. He is still very important »
« If Luka Modrić leaves in January? Absolutely not. He thinks he’s an important player, and we think the same. He doesn’t want to leave, and we are very happy about that. »
