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

Levi Colwill says Chelsea are "not Real Madrid" and are confident about facing Paris St-Germain in the Club World Cup final at MetLife Stadium on Sunday. Most will view Enzo Maresca's side as underdogs against the Champions League winners,

Real Madrid had hoped to end a disappointing 2024-25 season by winning the Club World Cup, but it was not to be.

PSG moved on to Sunday’s final against Chelsea in the first expanded Club World Cup with a chance to win its fourth major title of the season exactly 100 days after it clinched Ligue 1 on April 5.

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.
