Fabrizio Romano Announces Modric's Statement to Real Madrid, Club is Informed

Real Madrid continues working to, before the Club World Cup next June, present the final configuration of the first team for the 25/26 season. One of the changes planned in the Valdebebas offices depends on the renewals that the white leadership is still studying as of today.

One of the players whose continuity in the merengue squad is still hanging in the air is Luka Modric. Despite the good feelings that the performance of the Balkan '10' evokes in the technical staff and fans, the Valdebebas offices consider that it is too early for a definitive verdict.

Much Work to Do

One of the great unknowns for Real Madrid for the next season is the continuity of two veteran footballers like Lucas Vázquez and Luka Modric. The debate regarding their possible renewal, always for one more season, has already started in the Valdebebas offices as it usually happens almost every recent season. For now, there are mixed feelings in the white leadership.

Especially with the Galician full-back, whose performance is leaving much to be desired. Lucas Vázquez's discreet performance in recent matches, replaced by Fede Valverde in his position for the Champions League, significantly reduces his chances of continuing for another year. The white '17' still has room to redirect his situation, but it is becoming increasingly complicated.

Luka Modric would be in a different dynamic. Croatia's '10' has left good impressions on the technical staff led by Carlo Ancelotti, regaining the starting position at times in these weeks due to the much-needed rotations. The Reggiolo coach is making changes in his starting line-ups and, due to injuries, the Croatian midfielder is shaping up as a more than reliable midfielder for all kinds of situations.

That's why the leaders led by Florentino Pérez would look more favorably on his continuity for one more season. The doubt lies, they point out from the Valdebebas offices, in the plans that Luka Modric has for his future in the European soccer elite. The information published by Fabrizio Romano clears up any doubts regarding the steps the Balkan midfielder would like to take during the next year.

Important Decision

"Luka Modrić wants to stay and continue for one more season until 2026", the transalpine informant points out. Despite being close to 40 years old, Luka Modric's level doesn't clash at all with the European soccer elite, a circumstance that encourages the white leadership. His continuity would not be such a complicated matter to ensure because "his first option and choice is always Real Madrid".

Thus, Fabrizio Romano makes it clear that staying in Santiago Bernabéu locker room would be Luka Modric's main goal. The doubts about a possible departure to Saudi Arabia, experienced during the summer of 2023, are now behind. The bond between Real Madrid and Luka Modric is stronger than ever and predisposes the first white captain for one more annual renewal in the summer of 2025.

Aware of Luka Modric's will, now it is the white executives who must evaluate what place they could give the merengue '10' in the sports project for the 25/26 season. The white footballer seems to have perfectly adapted to that substitute role he began to know during the last season... and his renewal with Real Madrid would be the perfect springboard to attend the 2026 United States World Cup.

Everything points to Luka Modric considering that international event as his last great opportunity to win it all with Croatia. That goal doesn't go unnoticed by the sports management, which considers that Luka Modric has earned the 'right' to fully decide on his sports and competitive future. The Balkan midfielder wants to renew, but Real Madrid still doesn't have enough data to make a decision that, in any case, will definitely come in the summer of 2025.
