Luka Modric is closer to the exit door at Real Madrid.

The Athletic says the situation surrounding Modric, 38, has changed radically this season.

The Croatia star is no longer a first-choice for Real coach Carlo Ancelotti.

The veteran is annoyed by the reduced playing time and at this moment there are no discussions with Real Madrid about an extension.

Modric has European, Saudi and American clubs in contact with him. Right now there are major indications of a move this summer.
