The future of Luka Modric at Real Madrid is still uncertain. Florentino Perez and the club have not yet offered him a new contract, despite his willingness to extend his current contract and remain with the team.
Modric’s current contract runs out this summer, and after June 30, he will become a free agent. Real Madrid has been linked to a slew of potential replacements for Luka Modric, as is the case each year. After 11 long years, El Nacional may part ways with Modric, according to reports.
But from the player’s perspective, this seems unlikely because he has said he wants to stay with Los Blancos:
“I have not yet spoken with the club. Naturally, I want to remain, but not because Modric deserves it.”
“My love for Real Madrid will never change, no matter what happens in the future. My life’s club is here.”
It shouldn’t come as a surprise that Modric wants to stay in Spain after experiencing numerous highs while playing for the team. However, the Croatian could also be impacted by Florentino Perez’s stringent renewal policy, which led to the departures of Cristiano Ronaldo and Casemiro from the club.
Luka Modric has scored 37 goals and assisted 76 others in 472 appearances for Real Madrid. During his residency, he has won five Bosses Association prizes and three La Liga titles with Los Blancos.
Genuine Madrid could supplant Modric with Jude Bellingham:
Jude Bellingham burst onto the scene a couple of years prior following his move from Birmingham City to Borussia Dortmund. The young Englishman has already had a significant impact since joining in 2020, appearing in 123 games, assisting on 24 goals, and scoring 20 goals. In 23 Champions League games, he has scored six goals and five assists.
Top clubs are vying for his signature because of his performances over the past few years, which have piqued interest from all over Europe.
Real Madrid adores big-game players, and with Modric’s age not helping, Perez may have to make the difficult decision to part ways with the Croatian. With his eye-catching performances this season at the World Cup and in the Champions League, Bellingham has demonstrated that he has the strength to excel on the biggest stages.
As Real continue its quest for domestic and European glory, it will be interesting to see how Luka Modric’s contract situation develops before the season ends. Los Blancos, who have advanced to the UCL quarterfinals, will travel to Barcelona, their archrival, for the Copa Del Rey semi-final second leg in an effort to overcome a one-goal deficit.
