Real Madrid midfielder Luka Modric has advised Paris Saint-German wonderkid, Kylian Mbappe to leave the French side for a more challenging championship.

The Croatian admitted that the French star has everything to dominate but the French league is not daunting enough to take him to the next level in his career.

In a chat with La Gazzetta Dello Sport, Modric said, "Mbappé has everything to dominate the scene.

"But I think that to make the leap in quality he needs to go to a championship in which his team does not win so easily."

Modric - the 2018 Ballon d'Or winner - turns 35 in September but has played 35 matches for Real this season, scoring five goals and creating five assists.

When asked about this future, the Croatian international was adamant he had a couple of seasons left at a high level and hinted he would like to coach with his national team one day.

"I'm sure I can play at a high level for two more years, then we'll see," Modric said.

"I would like to end my career at Real, but it will also depend on the club.

"Of course, I'll do the coaching course. For us, the national team is a feeling above football, both as a player and as a coach I'd be honored to be there".

Modric learned plenty off former team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo, with the duo playing six seasons together at the Bernabeu.
