Next season, Real Madrid icon Luka Modric is anticipated to remain with the team.
even though it appeared that Carlo Ancelotti’s decision to remove him from the starting lineup would cause him to leave the team. Nonetheless, the 38-year-old told Cadena Cope that he still felt powerful and could make a contribution.
It’s something different; at first, I had trouble adjusting to this new job and understanding it, but you can never assume it. The coach is pleased with me since I believe I handled it really well and performed well when it was my chance to play.
“You have been a starter and a vital player all of your life, but you must struggle through different circumstances because I will never give up on you. When they needed me, I had to fight even harder, and I believe I did rather well.
In addition, he was questioned about whether he had ever lost faith in Ancelotti or if he had lost patience with him at any point during the season.
“No, I always gave my all throughout practice and games, and neither the coach nor the squad found it problematic with my behavior. You always want to play, but I haven’t caused you any trouble—in fact, during training, I’ve set an excellent example with my attitude.
All of the Real Madrid reports indicate that he would sign a new one-year agreement with Los Blancos. Modric acknowledged that the choice had been made, but he was unable to make it public. He also stated that Toni Kroos’ decision had no bearing on the decision. Similar to Kroos, he was drawn to the thought of retiring at the Santiago Bernabeu but chose not to commit to it.
“I’ve always stated that Madrid should be my final club. My goal is to retire in Madrid, but first, let’s take things slowly and see what happens. I’m hoping for what I desire.
Furthermore, neither would bet on how long he had left in the game. Some claim that Modric’s plan is to represent Croatia as captain in the USA, Mexico, and Canada for the 2026 World Cup.
“I’m not sure when I can tell you. I have to take things slowly. I feel like I can compete in the best league now that I have the body and football skills to do so. Many discuss growing older and feeling uneasy. What you do on the field matters the most, and if you think you can be physically fit, that’s even more significant. Why does Real Madrid rank as the world’s top club? Because no one can play by mandate; the best always play. not me for anything I’ve accomplished. The most excellent play. I feel strong and in great shape, but that could change in six months, and I’ll be the first to say no if it does.
Ancelotti will undoubtedly value having Modric’s leadership and experience going forward, especially with Kroos and Nacho Fernandez due to leave this summer. Losing all three at once might have a big effect on the dressing room, and even though players like Fede Valverde, Dani Carvajal, and Lucas Vazquez are expected to set the tone more and more, Modric is still important.
