According to rumors, Manchester City could take advantage of a contract dispute between Luka Modric and Real Madrid, with Pep Guardiola eager to welcome the Croatian midfielder to the Etihad with open arms.
Even after turning 36, Modric, who won the Ballon d'Or in 2018, is still regarded as one of the best midfielders in the world and a critical element of Los Blancos' squad.
According to Spanish outlet El Nacional, Modric is unhappy with the terms offered by Chief Florentino Perez, and city is now waiting in the wings. His current contract expires at the end of the current season, with Madrid keen to extend it.
According to rumors, Modric is weary of being overlooked by the club president and wants a two-year contract to demonstrate his value to the team.
He believes he should be rewarded for his commitment to Real Madrid despite Inter Milan's interest last year, and is willing to lower his wage if the club commits to keeping him in the squad for the next two seasons, according to the report.
Modric wants to compete at the top level in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, according to the site, and Manchester City is now 'waiting' to offer him 'an attractive future,' with the player seeing 'no harm' in transferring to Etihad following a pleasant start to his Premier League career with Tottenham.
The midfielder, on the other hand, wants to retire at the Bernabeu and is waiting for Perez to make another offer. City and Pep Guardiola will be 'waiting with open arms' if he fails to do so.
Modric has 411 appearances for Real Madrid, scoring 28 goals, and is already regarded as a club legend, having won La Liga twice and the Champions League four times.
He moved to Madrid from Tottenham Hotspur in 2013 for roughly 40 million euros and soon established himself as a household name in the Spanish city.
