At Real Madrid they always look to have the best possible elements for their squad for the coming years. This is with the intention of being able to develop a team full of stars, combining experience and youth at the moment. Now, the white club is considering the option of transfer a Ballon d'Or winner to help the team's big stars.

Players like Kylian Mbappé, Vinícius Junior and Jude Bellingham could benefit greatly from this move. But, contrary to all expectations, we are not referring to a player who is new to the club, but rather to one of the most experienced. This is because Luka Modric could be close to renewing his contract with Real Madrid against all expectations.

The Croatian footballer's performance has been simply magnificent despite his age in this last season. But this news comes directly from José Félix Díaz. "I think that Luka Modric will end up fulfillling his wish to play in the 2026 World Cup with Croatia."

Luka Modric Can Renew

The Croatian footballer has been known for being one of the main figures in the Merengue team for several years . Winner of a Ballon d'Or for an abysmal performance in the 2018 World Cup and hero of the tenth alongside Ramos and Cristiano.

Now, despite being almost 40 years old, he is going through a great moment where he has become a playmaker for the team. He is now one of the most important pieces both for his experience and knowledge of the game. More so now that, without his teammate Toni Kroos, the team seems lost.

This possible renewal would be due to the fact that he is a legend of the club and his current performance. Although this remains to be seen, since the information is not specifically from the club's official sources.

There is still waiting

This possibility has been more open than ever for several months, when it was raised in the media. However, coming from such an important figure as José Félix Díaz, it is gaining more and more strength. Although in reality, the one who has the final say on this is the player himself and even Florentino Pérez.
