Mixed emotions are surging through Luka Modric's mind at Real Madrid. The 37-year-old midfield giant is under contract with the Spanish giants only until the end of June and his future is full of uncertainty. Despite making 37 appearances in all competitions this season, contributing six goals and five assists, talks on his contract extension with the team have been pending. British media revealed that Real Madrid officials have not discussed a contract extension with Modric, leaving him worried about his future in the Spanish capital. Although the Magic Flute has expressed his desire to stay at Real Madrid, he is aware that a contract extension will not be easy.
On the other hand, Premier League trio Manchester United, Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur are secretly coveting Serie A center back Minjae Kim. The 26-year-old South Korean star joined Napoli from Fenerbahce last summer and has been performing quite well for the Blues this season. Despite the uncertainty surrounding his future, a number of European clubs are believed to be keeping a close eye on his performances. British media reports suggest that all three powers are looking to sign Kim Min-Ja in this summer's transfer window, with a termination clause of up to £39 million in his contract catching many eyes.
In the Croatian's world, explosiveness seems to be the norm. He once made it clear during an international match, "My wish is well known and that is to stay at Real Madrid. I believe and hope it will come true." However, his words are not without uncertainty: "The rest is just assumptions and rumors." As for retirement, Modric was even more categorical: "Short and simple, no." Despite the Croatian's plans to play at Euro 2024, his future is still full of unknowns.
Minjae Kim, on the other hand, is full of predictability. Napoli are keen to extend his contract in order to remove the termination clause from his contract so that he can be sold for a higher price at the end of the season. However, the South Korean international seems to prefer a move to the Premier League this summer. In 2022-23, Kim made 27 Serie A appearances and helped Napoli lead the table, 16 points ahead of Lazio.
