Painful: Great Sacrifice Real Madrid Will Make to Transfer Zubimendi in 2025

One of the players who has been rumored for some time to join the white team is Real Sociedad's great midfielder, Martín Zubimendi. This player has established himself as one of the most interesting prospects in Spanish soccer and by far. However, his arrival at the white team could have a highly significant consequence for a very important player on the team.

We're referring to Luka Modric, who could be the big loser with the arrival of this talented young player. This is because, given his age and especially the position he occupies, it would be problematic to have both players. Therefore, the management might decide not to extend the Croatian player's contract and say goodbye to a legend.

Obviously, this seems to be a rather drastic and especially painful decision for all Madrid fans today. However, for some, it could be the best decision to naturally renew the team.

Modric is a sacrifice

The Croatian player is undoubtedly one of the greatest legends the white club has by far. However, seeing the current situation of the team and how it needs to progress, maybe this operation won't be entirely rejected.

As of today, the Real Sociedad player has established himself as one of the best players in the entire league. With more than 1800 minutes played in 21 matches, he demonstrates the great importance he has had in his team recently.

However, it seems that with his release clause of 60 million euros, he could be within reach of any team, including Real Madrid. A very important step in his career and possibly why he decided not to go to Liverpool this past summer.

A step aside is needed

Now more than ever, Modric has to step aside to allow a young figure to have a place. One that could provide solidity in all aspects of the midfield for the coming years.
