Luka Modric made his final appearance for Real Madrid in the 4-0 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in the Club World Cup.

PSG continue their stellar campaign, reaching another final after their thrashing of Real Madrid on Wednesday.

“I went to Dembélé, and I told him that you press too much!”

The main hold-up to negotiations came from Madrid’s desire to avoid triggering Carreras’s release clause, which stands at €50 million ($58.5 million) and would have to be paid up front in one lump sum. While Madrid have failed to negotiate a discount, they have at least secured a favorable payment plan.

Real Madrid are considering stepping up their pursuit of Ibrahima Konate, with a move dependent on whether they can sell players already deemed surplus to requirements.

Real Madrid will receive a transfer fee of €5 million for the 21-year-old left-back from the Portuguese giants.

PSG manager Luis Enrique stressed how important this run to the final has been for everyone connected to the club.
