Luka Modric is a soccer legend and an eternal idol at Santiago Bernabéu. At 39 years old, he continues to compete at the elite level. Every time he steps onto the field, he shows why he is one of the best in history.
He has won all possible titles with Real Madrid and still wants more. His commitment to the group remains total and his influence, undeniable. That's why he is already thinking about renewing for one more season and continuing to make history.
Real Madrid seeks replacement for Kroos and thinks about the future
While Modric considers his continuity, the sports management is already exploring the market. Kroos's departure combined with injuries has forced them to find a new brain for the midfield. At Real Madrid, they don't want to improvise and are studying young and versatile profiles.
Joshua Kimmich was the favorite for months, but he has renewed with Bayern. His continuity in Germany has closed a door that seemed open. With him ruled out, new alternatives have started to emerge in Europe.
Enzo Fernández is on the priority list
The Argentine from Chelsea has been linked several times with the white team. His technique, deployment, and youth make him very attractive. But his high price has stalled conversations for the moment.
However, in the last few hours, an unexpected option has come to light. A media figure has raised their hand and offered themselves directly to Real Madrid. Their words have not gone unnoticed.
Ryan Gravenberch's agent breaks the silence and offers him to Real Madrid
“We would love for Ryan to play at Real Madrid,” said clearly the Dutch midfielder's representative. According to him, Gravenberch is ready to succeed at Bernabéu. He assures that interest from Real Madrid has existed.
The main obstacle would be Liverpool, which wouldn't let him leave easily. But if there is something that characterizes Real Madrid, it is their ability to negotiate. In modern soccer, money is almost never a definitive limit.
Gravenberch is liked for his physicality, vision, and projection
At 21 years old, he has already been through Ajax, Bayern, and now Liverpool. He possesses an impressive stride and elegant ball control. His profile fits what they are looking for in Chamartín to lead the midfield.
The operation could be around 60 million euros. It's not a bargain, but it would be a medium to long-term bet. Modric, as beloved as he is, could find himself displaced.
Modric will have to make a decision sooner rather than later
The arrival of new young talents could accelerate his departure. Although he wants to renew, the current context complicates it. At Real Madrid, they are already thinking about how to reorganize the locker room for the future.
With Camavinga, Valverde, Tchouaméni, and Bellingham, there is a lot of quality. If Gravenberch arrives, the competition will be even more intense. The Croatian, a living legend, will have to decide if he stays or passes the baton.
