For Croatians, this is primarily an excellent PR move, but at the management of the Slovenian top-league club Celje they confirmed: “Luka Modrić? No, this is not a joke!”

Sportklub has served up news that has made quite an impact, although most have simply waved it off. Even Croatians are convinced that this is primarily an excellent PR move. However, in Celje, it has been confirmed: Luka Modrić is indeed a transfer target for the leading club in the Prva liga Telemach! To dwell on the slim chances of ultimate success is not worth the words. Luka Modrić may indeed be advancing in years, but for him to move to the Slovenian league… Well, that would be the sensation of all sensations, one of the most incredible transfers in the history of football.
“This is not a joke. Let me explain. We started this project because Damir Krznar and Luka Modrić know each other from their footballing days. If we have this relationship, why not try to capitalize on it? And if you want to talk to a player who is still under contract with a club, especially one like Real, it’s right to inform the club about it,” said Valerij Kolotilo, president of Celje, as a guest on the Pod prečko show on Sportklub.
Regarding the Real Madrid player, with whom they reportedly want to extend the contract, the club’s top man from the princely city added: “If perhaps this cannot be achieved now, we will try again in six months or a year. I’ll tell you even more, if we don’t succeed with Modrić, we will try to bring in another player of that level. I have experience with this. When we were at Anzhi, we brought in Robert Carlos. And the whole club rose to a completely different level because of it. That’s just how I think. Why not? We have high ambitions, we certainly won’t stay at the level the club is currently at.“
