Modric’s agent previously hinted that the 38-year-old has already had offers from several other teams.

And there is speculation he could be the next big star to sign for a Saudi Arabian club.

Modric is supposedly open to moving to the Middle East if the offer is “suitable”.

Saudi sides are again expected to splash the cash this January.

But any deal for Modric will have to wait until the summer as Real Madrid want to keep him as cover in midfield.

A transfer to Saudi Arabia will see him follow down the same path as other Los Blancos heroes and Ballon d’Or winners Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema.

Modric has played 503 games for Real Madrid, winning three LaLiga titles and five Champions Leagues.

But he has started just six games this season after being pushed out the side by Jude Bellingham.

He previously said he no plans to hang up his national team boots.
