The former Barcelona star believes that the Spanish giants made a big mistake

Ivan Rakitic questioned Real Madrid’s decision to allow Luka Modric to leave.

Modric offers a passionate farewell to the fans in Santiago Bernabeu on Saturday In victory over Real Sociedad and he will officially leave for the club after the club’s World Cup this summer.

Reports indicated that 39 -year -old was keen to stay in Madrid, but this idea was rejected by the new President Xabi Alonso because he wanted to fix the midfield and focus on the younger players.

The Croatian Modric colleague, who had a great successful talisman in his competitors in Madrid Barcelona as well as Seville, believes that this may be a mistake.

“This has made me sad, because we all want to continue to enjoy Luca, but Luca in Madrid. I imagine Madrid without it is very complicated,” said Rakitic, who is now playing with Hungdoc Split, El Bartidazo.

“Madrid had great players, such as Cristiano Ronaldo or Sergio Ramos, but Luka was different. Everyone loved him. Modric needs Madrid and vice versa.”

Is it connecting Modric with Messi?

Modric, who joined Madrid in 2012 and continued to win four titles in the Spanish League and six -year -old in the Champions League, apparently had no pension plans and was already linked with a move to Miami to play alongside the likes of Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez, Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba.

Captain Croatia will also be in the World Cup next summer, assuming that she is eligible.

“This makes me a bit sad. The only thing I told him on the phone is that I hope he will continue to enjoy it and I hope he can transfer our team to the World Cup,” Rakitic added.

“He surprised me a lot, to tell you the truth. But for me, the important thing as a friend is that he is happy.”
