When asked about the interest from Real Madrid, Budimir expressed his happiness with his current team and the respect he has for Osasuna. He emphasized that his focus has been on the national team and that he is now on vacation. He prefers not to discuss the transfer issue at this time.

It is worth noting that Croatian captain Luka Modric, who may be leaving Real Madrid soon, could potentially act as an advisor to help Budimir adapt to the team. However, Budimir did not want to discuss this further at the moment.

Modric is set to leave Real Madrid after the Club World Cup, as a deal has been agreed upon with AC Milan.
