Luka Modric has told Florentino, official statement at the end of the season

One of the most urgent matters facing Real Madrid is the renewal of several first-team footballers. Beyond the continuity of Vinícius Jr., a debate sparked by approaches from Saudi Arabia, there are two veteran footballers whose continued presence in the merengue locker room is still completely unknown.

The one who is currently stirring up the most rumors is Luka Modric. The Croatian footballer, despite being very close to 40 years old, has delivered good performances in recent seasons... accepting that he can no longer be an undisputed starter given multiple factors.

Because not only do his physical conditions influence the possibilities he might have to be a starter throughout the season. The generational shift has affected the Madrid midfield in recent summer markets, bringing in players like Jude Bellingham. The addition of the English '5', among others, has ultimately positioned the Croatian '10' as one of the top-level substitutes of the current Real Madrid.

The continuity of Luka Modric remains a mystery at this point in the season. The executives led by Florentino Pérez, however, have already opened the debate in the Valdebebas offices, ready to analyze his performance and assess the relevance of his continuity.

Prepared Conversation

If Luka Modric demonstrates that he can fulfill the role currently assigned to him, everything points to Real Madrid approaching with a new renewal proposal for one season. The information published by the newspaper As maintains that conviction in the white leadership, indicating that "nobody rules out a renewal" of the Balkan talent.

Not only for his abilities as a playmaking midfielder, a role that is scarce in the current configuration of Santiago Bernabéu locker room. The retirement of Toni Kroos and the serious injury of Dani Ceballos, out of the team for two months, would mean more prominence for a footballer with a very clear objective: the World Cup.

Luka Modric wishes to play in that international event, which will be held in the United States, with the Croatian national team. Everything indicates that it would be his last major draft with the team coached by Zlatko Dalic: his continuity in Santiago Bernabéu locker room would ensure his presence in that international competition.

In any case, the executives led by Florentino Pérez are still not going to make a decision about Luka Modric's future. The genius from Zadar believes he can continue for one more year in the merengue sports discipline, but the final word belongs to the white leadership's roadmap.
