Even after the transfer window closed in Spain, two athletes from Real Madrid received proposals to leave the club. Midfielder Luka Modric and striker Karim Benzema were scouted by a team from Saudi Arabia, according to the Spanish vehicle The world.
Both players have a contract with Real Madrid until the end of the season and have not yet started renewal negotiations. With that, the idea of the team from the Middle East is to offer a pre-contract for the two and count on them from July. The amounts would be 60 million euros (R$ 332.5 million at current prices) for two seasons.

However, both Modric and Benzema give priority to Real Madrid for the renewal of the current contract. The Croatian and the Frenchman have already made statements saying that they would like to retire with the Spanish team. However, while the club does not open talks to extend the contracts, the two players do not close the doors to the proposal from Saudi Arabia.
In preparation for the Club World Cup, Real Madrid face Mallorca next Sunday before traveling to Morocco. The Meringue team debuts next Wednesday (08), taking the winner between Seattle Sounders and Al Ahly.
