Croatian football legend Luka Modric decided to continue defending the colors of Madrid's "Real" club.

In recent months, the 37-year-old midfielder was heavily tempted by the "Al-Hilal" team, but the veteran decided to say "no" to the Arab offer.

Journalist Gianluca Di Marzio reports that the Saudi Arabian team promised to pay L. Modric a whopping 200 million euros over the course of three years.

Just a month ago, the player agreed to extend his contract with the "Real" club for another season.

In the last "La Liga" season, he scored 4 goals and provided 3 assists in 33 matches.
