Luka Modric, the 39-year-old Croatian midfielder, could be set for a surprising move to Rangers if Davide Ancelotti is appointed as the club's new manager. Ancelotti, who previously served as an assistant coach at Real Madrid alongside Modric, has expressed strong interest in the Ibrox job and has held multiple talks with Rangers officials.
The discussions took place recently in London, with further meetings planned despite delays caused by Rangers' ongoing takeover. Current chief executive Patrick Stewart and the Ibrox board are actively involved in the managerial search.
"Luka Modric could move to Rangers if his former Real Madrid assistant boss Davide Ancelotti takes charge at Ibrox," sources say, highlighting the potential for a high-profile transfer.
Modric, who is leaving Real Madrid this summer, has yet to decide on his next destination. The possibility of reuniting with Ancelotti, who envisions a technical staff composed of several specialists rather than a traditional hierarchy, adds an intriguing dimension to Rangers' ambitions.
"He envisions a technical staff built not around a strict hierarchy of 'manager' and 'assistant,' but a group of five or six specialists, each focused on a specific area of the game," reflecting a modern approach to coaching.
This potential appointment and transfer could mark a significant moment for Rangers, signaling their intent to compete at a higher level with experienced leadership and world-class talent.
The club's ongoing takeover has slowed progress, but the interest from Ancelotti and the possibility of bringing Modric to Ibrox have generated considerable excitement among fans and insiders alike.
