Luka Modric is resisting offers to leave Real Madrid this summer

The experienced midfielder, who is out of contract in June, is set to be given fresh terms by the Los Merengues.

The veteran midfielder has been a big subject this week after providing an incredible assist for Rodrygo during Los Blancos’ Champions League comeback against Chelsea.

Following the competition, the 36-year-old stated that contract discussions with Real Madrid might be postponed, indicating that he will determine his future year by year.

According to sources, Real will not have a clear road to retain the services of their iconic player in 2022-23. Santos reports that Juventus and a Qatari club have notified his representatives that Modric will be available on a free transfer later this year.

Regardless of the attention, Modric is unlikely to make a decision on his future while Real Madrid is still vying for trophies.

While awaiting his contract offer, Modric has drawn interest from Qatar as well as Italian powerhouse Juventus. According to AS, the 2018 Ballon d’Or winner is still dedicated to staying with Real Madrid.

Real Madrid’s Modric was exceptional in this week’s Champions League quarterfinal victory over Chelsea.

Massimiliano Allegri has returned to Juventus this year and snubbed Real Madrid in the process.

The Old Lady are out of every European competition this year and have struggled in the Serie A this season.

Boss Massimiliano Allegri was appointed last summer having previously served the club between 2014 and 2019.

He snubbed the Real Madrid job to join the Old Lady last summer and penned a four-year contract.

He still claims he never regretted snubbing Real Madrid for Juventus.

“Not at all. I am happy to be back here,” he said.

“My 10-year-old son lives here in Turin and this is another reason he decided to return. I wanted to work again with Juventus and make four good years, building something meaningful.

“I have no regrets. I am lucky and I am working at a good level. I’ve taken many satisfactions and I hope more will come together with the club.”

Real Madrid forward Eden Hazard is reportedly refusing to negotiate a transfer to Arsenal

The Belgian international has lately been linked with a transfer to Arsenal, but Sport.fr has offered an update on the matter, indicating that he has no interest in discussing a move to the Emirates Stadium.

This is a snub for Arsenal, who could need a quality offensive player this summer, but it might also wind up being a bullet dodged for the north London giants.

Hazard was one of the finest players in the world for a number of years during his time at Chelsea, but he currently appears to be a long cry from that talent.

Arsenal couldn’t afford to be too fussy, but they can certainly do better than an over-the-hill Hazard, who has struggled in Spain.

Los Blancos will no doubt be desperate to find a buyer for Hazard this summer, but the 31-year-old is unlikely to attract many bidders.

Arsenal need to replace Nicolas Pepe out wide, but supporters will be hoping that their recruiting team can come up with something better than this agreement, which appears to be a non-starter in the first place.

Real Madrid will host Chelsea for the return leg tonight.

The Los Blancos beat the Blues 3-1 at their home ground and are now favorites to advance in the semi-final of the competition.

The score would have been different if the away goal rule stood this season but Real Manager Carlo Ancelotti has no regrets about it.

“Not at all. We accept the rules as they are. It’s favourable for the balance and we accept it,” the Italian coach told Sky Sport Italia.

“[The victory in the first leg] can be a dangerous result if we think most of the work is done. We made a lot in the first leg and we must do the same tomorrow. We played well in the first half, we must do the same in the second half.”

Ancelotti was asked if Benzema has improved since the last time he coached him around ten years ago.

“I think he has more confidence in himself. He feels more important, but he is still humble. Despite being one of the best players in the world, he remains humble and it makes the difference.”

Gareth Bale has not yet decided on his future

Gareth Bale is definite to leave this summer as a free agent.

The Welshman will be out of contract this summer and will end his nine-year spell with the Galacticos.

He won four Champions League trophies, two La Liga titles and the Copa del Rey during his time at Madrid.

He might even win his third La Liga trophy this season who will turn 33 by the end of this season.

Bale has a futile relationship with the Real fans but his agent Jonathan Barnett believes the winger deserves a grand farewell.

“Bale deserves a grand farewell from the club. And no, we have not yet decided on the future,” his agent told Deportes Cuatro in Spain.

“He speaks Spanish. What happens is that people who do not know him say that he does not. Stupid and ignorant people who have not spoken to him. It’s a shame.

“He has always been very happy in Madrid, he arrived as a young man, his children were born in the city, he has donated a lot of money to Spanish hospitals for Covid and he loves the city and the club, and I think the parasites are the ones who speak ill of him.”

Real Madrid eyeing Sporting CP right-back Pedro Porro

Real Madrid eyeing Sporting CP right-back

Real Madrid are keeping tabs on Pedro Porro. The Sporting CP right-back has been phenomenal in the Primeira Liga

In the midst of Real Madrid’s chase of attackers, little is spoken about the other reinforcements required. Los Blancos would surely be a scary squad with Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland, but the defence demands just as much attention.

The situation at right-back is precarious. While Dani Carvajal isn’t the player he once was, Lucas Vazquez isn’t a natural fullback. There is a genuine need for a new right-back.

Pedro Porro is being monitored by Real Madrid. The Sporting CP right-back has been outstanding in the Primeira Liga, scoring three goals and assisting four times in only 14 appearances.

The Portuguese club wants about €30 million for their star. However, at that price, the player still promises to be a good buy.

Porro is one of the most defensively astute players in Portugal’s top division, averaging two tackles, an interception, a clearing, and five duels won per 90 minutes. Simultaneously, he averages 1.2 critical passes per game and creates seven huge opportunities.

One concerning aspect of the right-playing back’s is his proclivity for injury. He has already missed 92 days of activity this season due to muscle problems.

Porro, who is only 22 years old, guarantees not only excellence but also longevity. The fact that the Galacticos just invested in a young right-back in Vinicius Tobias is one element working against his acquisition.

Real Madrid had previously been connected with the Spanish player. They must, however, act quickly for the sake of the child.

Mbappe holding out for improved contract offer from Real Madrid

Kylian Mbappe would prefer to move to Santiago Bernabeu this summer.

Kylian Mbappe is reportedly holding out for an improved contract offer from Real Madrid. However, Paris Saint-Germain is offering a two-year extension worth £125m.

The Frenchman’s current contract at the Parc des Princes is set to expire in June, and he is now free to negotiate pre-contract agreements with foreign clubs.

Real Madrid have been heavily linked with the 23-year-old and they are believed to be the frontrunners for his signature.

Mbappe told reporters that there are ‘new elements’ that will determine who he will play for next season.

According to Spanish journalist Guillem Balague, these ‘new elements’ refer to the financial aspects of his proposed new contract, with the Ligue 1 forward hoping Real Madrid will offer more than the £125m.

Balague adds that the Frenchman would prefer to move to Santiago Bernabeu this summer.

Carlo Ancelotti also admired Karim Benzema for ye another hattrick in the Champions League.

Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti admitted they were always in control for their comfortable win at Stamford Bridge.

Real Madrid secured the quarterfinal victory 3-1, courtesy of another hat-trick from Karim Benzema. The two goals lead can help them to earn a semifinal ticket.

Ancelotti said: “We had good control of the game, were dangerous on the counter-attack. It was a good night but it is only half-time and we have to look forwards.

“We showed good organisation, Benzema was fantastic. We found space between the lines. We have an advantage but on Tuesday it will be another game – they are the winners of the Champions League.

“Honestly, we had good build-up from the back and dangerous counter attacks.

“I think it helped us that our build-up play from the back was good, we found space between the lines. And then with Benzema and Vinicius we were dangerous.”

Ancelotti also talked about of his positioning of Fede Valverde.

“We were thinking of the position of Azpilicueta on the left to stop him [and] for that reason Valverde had one eye on him. It might have appeared like a line of five [in defence] but in reality, Azpilicueta stayed back and Valverde played as a winger.”

Liverpool could also win the race for Mbappe’s signature.

Real Madrid are reportedly still confident they can win the race for PSG forward Kylian Mbappe this summer.

The Frenchman will see his contract expiring at the end of this season and could be a free agent this summer. There seems to have been growing talk of him possibly signing a new deal at the Parc des Princes.

A report from 90min acknowledges this claim from RMC Sport journalist Daniel Riolo that Real Madrid remains confident of signing the France international to the Bernabeu.

FourFourTwo have reported there remains some “optimism” that Liverpool could still win the race for the signature of the 23-year-old.

Karim Benzema believes he would score twice the goals with Mbappe on his side.

The Real Madrid ace has given his thoughts on linking up with national teammate Kylian Mbappe at Santiago Bernabeu.

Both Benzema and Mbappe has scored 34 goals and 38 goals respectively and we can just imagine how this lethal duo would dominate the La Liga.

“Yes, I say it often. I like to play with him in the national team and I would like to play with him at the club level,” Benzema said. “I think we would score twice as many goals. Or maybe even triple! With Mbappé I understand myself well in the national team because we know what the other is going to do. For example, we both like to go to the left but we will never be there both at the same time”

“I wished him a good game (before the Real Madrid – PSG game). Personally, I didn’t have any special pressure on that match. I just wanted my team to win, because I was disappointed with the first leg. I got there (with a hamstring injury), I hadn’t played for a month. And we had been bad, we had been dominated the whole game, we hadn’t even attacked… That was when I knew it was going to be something different in the 2nd leg.”
