Al-Ettifaq is also showing interest in signing Luka Modric. The Croatian midfielder, who has recently ended his distinguished career with Real Madrid, is looking into new avenues after being told by Xabi Alonso that a spot in the team's rotation next season would not be assured for him. Modric has shown a preference for a move to the United States; however, Al-Ettifaq has become one of the clubs eager to secure his services. The competition for Modric's signature is intense, with Al-Nassr already having made an offer, and clubs from the United States and Brazil also showing interest. As the summer transfer window intensifies, Modric's next destination is still uncertain, but Al-Ettifaq is actively in pursuit of the veteran playmaker.
