At Real Madrid they continue to plan what can be a very busy January at the Santiago Bernabéu offices.

This is what Real Madrid will hold on to. As they assure in Mirror, the Dane has once again rejected the umpteenth attempt by the London team to renew his contract.

Luka Modric arrived at the same age and from the same team seven years ago …
