Vinicius is worried, the teammate who could go to prison for a serious crime

Real Madrid is not having its best year and day by day receives bad news. After the failure that was the elimination in the Champions League semifinals against Manchester City and the second place in the Spanish league, which was won by rival Barcelona, Los Merengues do not have many reasons to celebrate.

Florentino Perez had planned to shake up the soccer world with the signing of Kylian Mbappé, who announced that he will not remain at Paris Saint-Germain when his contract expires in June 2024, but so far he has not been able to finalize the signing. The interest of Liverpool, with an offer of more than $300 million for the French striker, could frustrate the arrival of the star at the Spanish club.

However, there is even worse news: Luka Modric has serious problems with the justice of the city of Osijek, in Croatia. The conflict began in 2008, when the midfielder was transferred from Dinamo Zagreb to Tottenham Hotspur in exchange for $27 million.

At that time, a case of tax evasion and illegal appropriation of money linked to that sale was investigated, for which the player was called to testify in 2017. The case had been closed in 2021, but this week the prosecutor's office decided to reactivate it and Modric's situation could become more complicated. It is suspected that the player favored with his testimony Zdravko Mamic, former executive director of Dinamo Zagreb, who despite being convicted fled to Bosnia Herzegovina.

Concern for Carlo Ancelotti

If these legal problems do not have a favorable resolution for Luka Modric, the Real Madrid coach would face a serious problem next season. Los Merengues no longer have Karim Benzema and cannot afford to lose the midfielder as well.
