Real Madrid's rejuvenation policy is vigorous, but Modric still can't find a suitable successor. On January 30, the famous José Felix Díaz revealed that Modric will at least renew his contract for one year, and it is likely that the 37-year-old will continue to play for Real Madrid, for the simple reason that Florentino cannot find a suitable replacement.
Modric joined Real Madrid in the summer of 2012, when he was 27 years old. Under Mourinho, the magic flute once lost its light and was defined as a "parallel cargo". But after the madman left, Modric was reborn under Carlo Ancelotti and achieved a three-game Champions League triumph under Zidane.
In 2018, Modric counterattacked C Ronaldo with the identity of Champions League champion + World Cup runner-up + World Cup MVP, and won his first Ballon d'Or, although there is some controversy, the Croatian superstar reached the peak of his career.
In recent years, Modric has become older and more demon, as long as there is no injury, he can occupy the main position in the midfield, which is simply incredible for the fiercely competitive Real Madrid.
This season, Modric continued to play well, contributing 2 goals and 5 assists in 22 starts in all competitions, and remains an indispensable midfield core. It is reported that Real Madrid has sent a contract extension, and he will most likely play for the Galaxy until 2023.
As we all know, Real Madrid has always been "impersonal", C Ronaldo, Ramos, Cassie and Raul all left after the age of 33, so what did Modric insist on? On the one hand, Modric is strong in his own right, and neither Zidane nor Ancelotti can do without him.
On the other hand, Real Madrid did not think of letting Modric go, but unfortunately could not find a suitable replacement. José Felix Díaz pointed out that Modric will renew his contract with Real Madrid for at least one year, and may even play longer. Some fans quipped that the magic flute was going to play at the Bernabeu until the age of 40 and hang up his boots?
Ahead of the semi-finals of the Western Super Cup, Ancelotti also spoke about Modric's renewal, saying that although the two sides have not yet signed a contract, Modric and Real Madrid have a "lifetime contract". The implication is that There is no suspense in Modric's stay.
Of course, Real Madrid will not always "nibble the old", if mbappe can be caught this summer, the next step is to find Modric and Kroos successors. At present, Real Madrid have set their sights on Ajax rising star Gravenberg and France's new international Joan Ameni.
News from Marca shows Real Madrid are in close contact with Joan Ameni in the hope of bringing the 22-year-old midfielder to the Bernabeu. However, Monaco's position is very tough, asking for 80 million to 100 million euros, below which it does not sell.
Ligue 1 powerhouses believe that Joan Ameni has unlimited potential, and with the World Cup this winter, it is a perfect time for players to raise prices. And Joan Ameni's contract will not expire until 2024, which is a real cash cow and there is no rush to sell.
