Real Madrid Confidencial Ancelotti speaks out about Modric's renewal with Madrid: 'Everyone knows it'
The coach knows Modric's relevance and defends his level this season, having been the best during many matches
Carlo Ancelotti didn't hide when talking about Luka Modric's future. After Real Madrid's victory against Sevilla, the Italian coach was clear. His message was direct, although without confirming anything.
"Luka Modrić? Everyone knows how much Real Madrid and the fans adore him. Luka and the club will decide what's best for both," he stated.
The Croatian's future remains hanging in the air. His contract ends on June 30. But his performance, even at 39 years old, remains impeccable.
A recital at the Pizjuán
Modric delivered a brilliant match against Sevilla. He played all 90 minutes. He was the master of the midfield. He proved once again that he still has plenty of soccer left.
The numbers support him. He provided 1 assist. He had 112 touches, the player with the most involvement. He completed 93 out of 102 passes, with a 91% success rate.
Additionally, he made 6 key passes, also the most in the match. He created 1 big chance. He succeeded in 4 out of 5 long balls. He won 2 out of 3 duels.
He didn't miss any dribbles. He completed 1 tackle, 2 interceptions, and 4 recoveries. Work and quality, as always.
Ancelotti, cautious but eloquent
Ancelotti didn't want to confirm if Modric will renew. But his words make it clear that the decision is in the hands of the player and the club. He doesn't hide the affection that exists for the Croatian.
Modric, meanwhile, keeps speaking on the field. His performance doesn't drop. His involvement is total. The crowd gave him an ovation at the Pizjuán.
The midfielder is playing his last matches of the season. Real Madrid has already secured second place in the league. Barça is the champion.
In this context, Modric is taking the opportunity to enjoy and keep leading. As always.
Pending decision
The club and Modric haven't officially announced if there will be a renewal. But the fans' desire is clear. They want him for one more year. Ancelotti doesn't hide his admiration either.
Modric is already a legend of Real Madrid. But his story might not be over yet. He will decide if he writes another chapter.
