"Modric will decide his own future"

Real Madrid take on Sevilla on Sunday in a game where the Santiago Bernabeu is expected to be packed. Italian manager Carlo Ancelotti gave a pre-match press conference ahead of their next La Liga match.

"The version is what we have done this season. A solid team, that demands a lot and is doing well. It's a moment where we need points to take advantage of the advantage we have. We have worked well, with time and hopefully we can come out with our best version," he told reporters.

Moreover, the Italian did not want to reveal anything about the alleged conversation with Luka Modric to join the coaching staff from next season: "I don't talk about personal things with the press. What everyone wants, including Modric, is to be a fantastic player. I think Modric's future will be his own choice."

"I think he is a very responsible person and he has a very clear idea of what his future is going to be. He wants to stop when he sees that his level has dropped, I think he will continue," he replied when also asked about the future of Toni Kroos.
