Great marketing campaign for the new Slovenian champion? Without a doubt. Realistically feasible transfer bomb? Not really. But sometimes you have to do something like this just to get people talking about you. There’s no such thing as bad publicity… Celje attempted to bring none other than Luka Modrić to the Z’dežele Stadium. Damir Krznar, the coach of the newly crowned Slovenian champion, confirmed it: Valerij Kolotilo, the president of Celje, indeed made contact with Real Madrid! And Luka Modrić… well, he was shocked! What else could he be…
Modrić? He wasn’t sure what was going on
“Our president is very ambitious. His mantra is that the sky’s the limit, and he’s making an effort. He did indeed contact Real Madrid. He presented himself as the president of Celje, intending to bring Luka to our club. He wasn’t even obligated to do this, as Modrić’s contract is expiring; he did it in a gentlemanly manner. This letter did reach Luka. He was confused. He wasn’t sure what was going on; he asked people from Real: “Do I owe someone something?” He thought he had promised to give something but forgot, or that they were asking him for a donation. When they told him that they wanted to negotiate with him to come to Celje as a player, he was – shocked! I personally didn’t speak with Modrić; my assistant Mihael Mikić, who was told by Hrvoje Čale, told me this,” Damir Krznar revealed to Sportske novosti.
So will Luka Modrić actually trade the Spanish capital for a city by the Savinja River? Ah, it was immediately clear that this wouldn’t happen, right? But as mentioned: publicity is publicity, even if it’s bad. What if it’s good…
