Real Madrid Confidencial Ancelotti Makes a Radical Shift: Modric's Role Change at Real Madrid for 2025
The Croatian attacking midfielder might be facing his last season as a Real Madrid player
Real Madrid's back in training with the goal of preparing for the game against Valencia at Mestalla. The white team's reality has left many doubts about several players, and the debate was solved during the Christmas break of this year.
In the discussions between the coaching staff and the board led by Florentino Pérez, the most highlighted has been Luka Modric. The Croatian renewed with Real Madrid for one more season after the successful campaign he had between 2023 and 2024, but his prominence has been reduced this season.
The same happened during the last season, until the rotations forced Carlo Ancelotti to modify his plans reserved for the Zadar player. The same could have happened this time, taking into account the information published by Relevo. According to this digital outlet, the first white captain will be more important in the second half of the current season.
The role change that Luka Modric could register next year would return him to the central point in Real Madrid's sports planning, a decision applauded. Not only because he's a legend, but because his latest performances have been quite positive.
From less to more
The intense competitive pace that the calendar of these months will demand from Real Madrid will cause changes in Carlo Ancelotti's schemes. The Reggiolo coach will be forced to rotate his starting line-ups more frequently... and Luka Modric is one of the multiple players at his disposal capable of ensuring quality in those team changes.
Furthermore, he's one of the most reliable players for the white club's coach, capable of leading both on and off the field. Considering all those virtues, in addition to his creative ability with the ball, Luka Modric aims to add many minutes in the remainder of the 24/25 season.
Despite that hypothetical change of plans regarding his role advanced by "Relevo", there are still doubts about his continuity. Because the last renewal achieved was done amid the euphoria of victories in LaLiga and the Champions League, but the planned transfers could change it.
Especially the arrival of someone like Martín Zubimendi, a creative defensive midfielder to replace Toni Kroos. Considering that the midfield has more than enough players without Modric... the white executives have a tough debate to solve before this summer.
