Luka Modric has confirmed his departure from Real Madrid after 13 iconic years, sharing an emotional farewell letter to fans.

That, at least, is what MARCA have claimed. The Madrid-based publication claim that Williams is viewed as an “attractive prospect” for Real, particularly as his Athletic contract is said to include an affordable €58 million ($65.4 million, £48.9 million) release clause.

Already facing the absence of nine key players and one suspension, the club has now confirmed that a crucial young forward will be unavailable for both the last La Liga game and the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup.

Real Madrid have offered a huge injury update on Jude Bellingham ahead of the FIFA Club World Cup. Los Blancos wrap up the La Liga season on May 24 at home to Real Sociedad as Carlo Ancelotti bids farewell to the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu.
