Luka Modric declined another huge offer from the Saudi Ahli Jeddah once again, hoping to retire in his beloved Real Madrid, reports indicated on Monday.

The offer reached 80 million euros which is seven times more than his salary at Real Madrid where he is one of the top-paid players.

The 37-year-old star has a clear idea of staying one more year in Madrid and retiring in elite football at the club where he has won five Champions League titles.

Currently, Modric is with the Croatian national team as they are getting ready for facing the Netherlands in the Nations League Semi-Finals. 

Previously, Real Madrid star declined massive Saudi proposals to sign with Saudi clubs next Summer, Spanish reports indicated on Saturday.

A Saudi club wanted to sign Modrić for two seasons for $100,000 million per season. 

The Spanish reports revealed that Modrić refused to set any negotiations with the Saudi representatives, revealing his desire to stay with the Spanish Royal club.

Last January, the Croatian 24sata reported that Modrić wants to end his football career at Real Madrid which is one of the top football clubs in the world.

The website added that Modrić had no idea about the club's intention for renewing his contract which will expire by June 2023.
