Luka Modric can become part of Carlo Ancelotti’s staff at Real Madrid.

After a successful career, the 38-year-old Croatian midfielder has a new offer on the table, but this time not as a player.

Modric extended his contract with Real Madrid last summer, but he has played less than 1,000 minutes this season.

However, Carlo Ancelotti wants him from the summer, but not on the pitch but with him in training, offering him the chance to be part of his staff from the summer if he decides to retire, writes AS.com.

However, the Croatian player is not going to give up and could end up in the US or Saudi Arabia, where he has been receiving offers since last year.

“My only condition to stay was that they treat me as the competitive player I have been so far, and not stay in the team based on past merit,” Modric said in September.
