Goodbye Real Madrid! Luka Modric had no choice, Carlo Ancelotti said
Modric's new contract with Real Madrid has become a hot topic for Carlo Ancelotti, although it is still early to end this season, and the conflict between Modric and Real Madrid is not too serious, but because of the frequent substitutions recently, Modric has become a major concern for the manager. Carlo Ancelotti made it clear in an interview: "The contract for next season is up to Luka Modric. This means that Real Madrid have given the contract option to Modric.
Modric's current contract with Real Madrid expires at the end of this season, having been renewed on a one-year contract for the previous two seasons and will continue to do so after this season. However, compared with the previous two seasons, Modric has not become the core player of Real Madrid, and the addition of a number of young players has made Real Madrid's central resources rich, but the competition is also more fierce, and even Modric has no way to stabilize his starting line for a long time.
Luka Modric started 25 times and 19 times in the previous two seasons, and in the Champions League, he only sat on the bench once, while the others were starters. However, Modric has been more of a substitute in the Premier League and Champions League this season. This is also an important reason why Modric can renew his contract with the club, he has said in an interview with reporters that he wants to stay at Real Madrid, and said that he wants to get more playing opportunities.
At 38 years old, it is indeed an old man entering the twilight of his life, especially now that Real Madrid has young players such as Bellingham, Valverde, and Tchouameni, Ancelotti does not mind spending more time with young players, because they are all the future of Real Madrid. However, Modric is still in good shape, his fitness and skills are very good, and he will never be willing to be a long-term substitute, so if Real Madrid can't come up with a suitable plan, then Modric is likely to refuse to sign a new contract with him.
According to the Spanish ** news, Modric has already talked to the club in the previous contract, hoping to get enough playing opportunities, but this condition has not been met, even if Modric's relationship with the team is good, it is impossible for him to get more playing opportunities, which is a big problem. Now it seems that both the Saudi league and the NBA have made the same request to Modric, they both want to buy Mr. Ballon d'Or, and the salary offered by Saudi Arabia is more attractive for Modric because, in their opinion, in any team, it is the same.
