Luka Modrić has officially announced his departure from Real Madrid after 13 years with the merengue side. He will bid farewell following the 2025 Club World Cup, leaving as the most decorated player in the club’s history with 29 titles.

Although the Croatian did not confirm his next move, it’s clear that the 39-year-old will have no shortage of suitors both in Europe and beyond. Here are some clubs that could land his signature.

Dinamo Zagreb

Football romantics would love to see Modrić end his career where it all began. A return to Croatia with Dinamo Zagreb would be a triumphant homecoming and could even fuel hopes of a historic run in European competitions.

The midfielder began his journey with the club in 2003, winning six titles with the Croatian side before making the jump to Tottenham in 2008.

Al Nassr

The Saudi Pro League has become a magnet for European stars nearing the end of their careers, and Modrić could be next. One club likely to make a strong offer is Al Nassr, where he could reunite with Cristiano Ronaldo and face off against other former Real Madrid teammates.

For Modrić, the challenge would be helping Al Nassr reclaim the Saudi Pro League title last won in 2019 or assisting CR7 in winning the AFC Champions League.

New York City FC

Arguably the most appealing option in the Americas lies in MLS, where clubs like New York City FC have the financial power to offer a competitive deal. They also have a proven track record with top-tier stars such as Frank Lampard and Andrea Pirlo.

For the American side, signing Modrić would be a strategic move to bring in a creative midfielder who can ease the load on Maxi Moralez, while also infusing a winning mentality the club has long sought. Wherever Luka Modrić decides to go, he’ll carry with him a legacy of excellence that will elevate any club fortunate enough to sign him.
