One of Real Madrid’s leaders is a very important player on the team, as he feels happy despite playing a secondary role this season. Ancelotti relies on him more to control the ball, but he is no longer as vital as he once was.
Last summer, the player was very close to leaving Real Madrid, as the club did not rely on him for the upcoming season.
However, he insisted on staying, and the departure of Toni Kroos, along with the player’s desire to continue, led to a change in the club’s perspective, which gave him the opportunity to sign for another year.
According to information from the Spanish newspaper Defensa Central, this season Modric has performed very well, making him one of the most prominent players on the team, which is greatly appreciated by the coaching staff and management.
The newspaper added that Pérez regrets almost allowing the Croatian player to leave last summer, but after his remarkable performance now, there is no objection to renewing his contract at the end of the season if he continues to perform strongly.
The player has seen a shift in his situation, especially during October, and it will be interesting to see how long this form lasts, as the fact that he is 39 years old cannot be ignored; age takes its toll on even the fittest players.
A player like Luka Modric must manage his playing time well, especially since he travels to Croatia during international breaks and plays in almost every match. He cannot expect to play regularly for Real Madrid with such a heavy load of matches.
Fortunately, the legend’s attitude has changed significantly, and after accepting his secondary role, things have become easier to handle. Initially, he had a hard time accepting the idea of being replaced.
