Florentino's Reply to Rumors about Modric's Future and His Renewal

Real Madrid is working on making their plans for the next season a reality. One of the key points will be the intervention in the transfer market in just six months. There are several major transfers that must be signed to correct imbalances.

The team coached by Ancelotti is experiencing a clear shortage of personnel that forces him to perform "juggling acts" and exponentially increase the versatility of the available players. The exits that occurred six months ago, however, might not be the last.

Because there are several players whose contracts end at the same time the 24/25 season concludes. The future of players like Luka Modric, Lucas Vázquez, or Jesús Vallejo remains uncertain. However, the club's leaders may have already made a definitive decision regarding the Balkan midfielder.

The information published by the newspaper As warns that from the Valdebebas offices, they will let Modric reflect on his competitive future and make a decision for himself. The club's leadership, as has happened in previous years, believes that the Croatian has earned the right to decide on his continuity in the changing room, without pressure.

It's in his hands

This sports newspaper makes it clear that Real Madrid would be willing for Luka Modric to continue wearing the white jersey for one more season. The executives led by Florentino, as the end of the campaign approaches, would start to work on a renewal offer if the reply is affirmative.

If Luka Modric decides to end his career at Real Madrid, the club's leaders will not try to keep him in the Spanish capital. In addition to planning another midfield arrival, with the aim of covering his position in the first team, they will not hesitate to organize a legendary exit.

Because that is the status Luka Modric has achieved both inside and outside Santiago Bernabéu stadium. The applause he receives in practically every stadium in the Old Continent shows that his impact on modern soccer is present and will be remembered forever. No matter if he decides to continue until the summer of 2026 as a Real Madrid player.

Modric's own agenda would influence that decision: it is well known that the white '10' wants to play in the World Cup in the United States, scheduled for 2026, with Croatia. To achieve that goal, the most logical step is to continue one more year with Real Madrid... before embarking on a golden retirement in the same way Toni Kroos did in the summer of 2024.
