Real Madrid’s Key Player Open to Extension

Real Madrid Midfield Improvement Led by Luka Modric
Real Madrid has faced midfield struggles this season, but a significant improvement has been seen in recent weeks, largely due to the increased prominence of Luka Modric.
Modric’s Key Role in Real Madrid’s Midfield
Luka Modric, the oldest appearance maker and goalscorer for Real Madrid, has become a crucial player for the team since mid-February. With Dani Ceballos sidelined due to injury, Modric has stepped up and even started in important matches like the Champions League clash against Atletico Madrid.
Modric’s Class and Importance
While Modric may not be relied upon as heavily as other midfielders like Aurelien Tchouameni or Federico Valverde, his recent performances have showcased his quality. Real Madrid would be wise to retain him, especially as they struggle to find his successor.
Modric’s Willingness to Extend Stay
Good news for Real Madrid comes in the form of Modric’s willingness to extend his stay at the club for at least another year. The veteran Croatian has expressed his desire to continue playing until the summer of 2026, even in a squad role.
Club’s Decision on Modric’s Future
Despite Modric’s willingness, reports suggest that club officials are hesitant about offering him another contract extension. The final decision on Modric’s future is likely to be made closer to the end of the current season.
