This season, Real Madrid midfielder Modi Li suffered coach Antsarotti's cold shoulder, three consecutive La Liga games were arranged as a substitute, the average playing time of only 19 minutes, obviously no longer regarded as the core of the team. Anzilotti has said that he will not block anyone who wants to go to Saudi Arabia to seek development. The Croatian veteran, who is about to turn 38, may accept an offer from Jeddah Ali to play alongside Roberto Firmino.
Modric has played for Real Madrid for 11 years and has collected many honors such as 3 La Liga titles and 5 Champions League titles. After his former teammate Binschmar moved to the Etihad this summer, it was rumored that Modric was also considering joining Jeddah Aly, but he eventually chose to extend his contract with Real Madrid for another year. However, Antsarotti's youthful squad this season has seen young players such as Zudi Biringham, Kamayunga, Cao Yaweni and 25-year-old Federico Giovanni become newcomers in the midfield, leaving Modigliani as a substitute in the league.
Facing questions in the media about Antsarotti's snubbing of Modi Ric, he said, "A lot of people find it a bit strange to have Modi Ric as a substitute, and he may be unhappy about it too, but he's doing quite well. The line-up is set at the moment but anyone could change their mind about going to Saudi Arabia. I don't know who will change their mind but I am not worried."
According to Spanish media DC, Real Madrid are interested in selling Modi Ric, but have offered a transfer fee of up to 60 million euros (about HK$510 million), a price apparently tailor-made for the Saudi giants. Jeddah Aly has always been eager to sign Modi Ric, and I'm sure won't get too hung up on the price. Now, the key to everything lies in how Modi Li himself chooses to stay or go.
