Real Madrid offer Modric in trade for Juventus superstar
His name? Luka Modric. The Croatian star will, Don Balon report, be 33 this year, and wants a change of scenery after winning his third-straight Champions League title, as he realises that all the battle wounds are beginning to take a toll on him.
Juventus have already received an offer for Pjanic worth €65 million, but have told the Merengues that they won’t take anything less than €80m for their man. Barcelona and Manchester City are also interested in the 28-year-old.
