Tomás Roncero Requests It to Florentino During Sevilla-Real Madrid: ‘He Must Renew’

The popular journalist is blunt after what was seen in the penultimate LaLiga match

Real Madrid experienced an absolutely crazy match in Seville, even playing against 9 for much of the duel. The goals by Mbappé and Bellingham were key, ultimately deciding the match to add three more points in an already decided league. At times, there was great anger from the Madrid fans, perfectly embodied in the figure of Tomás Roncero, who was outspoken on his X account.

Tomás Roncero calls for Luka Modric's renewal

At times, Real Madrid was not able to be superior to Sevilla even with more players on the field. This greatly angered Tomás Roncero, who sent a clear message. The only one doing well was Luka Modric and, as it could not be otherwise, the popular journalist publicly demanded his renewal for another season.

"Thanks to Luka Modric's professional pride and infinite quality, we are making some decent plays. The Croatian genius must renew, no matter what," pointed out Tomás Roncero during the Sevilla-Real Madrid match.

Luka Modric: this is his situation with Real Madrid

Luka Modric's contract with Real Madrid ends on June 30, and although his future remains uncertain, his desire is firm: he wants to keep competing at the highest level. The Croatian midfielder will turn 40 in September, but his ambition has no expiration date. His goal is clear: to be in top form for the next World Cup with his national team. 

According to Madrid-Barcelona, Modric is willing to make one last sacrifice to continue in elite soccer. He already took a pay cut to stay another year at Santiago Bernabéu, and now he is willing to do it again... If it means keeping his place in the white team or having an opportunity at a top-level club.

In Real Madrid's locker room, he is a legend. His leadership, commitment, and talent have been key for more than a decade, and many can't imagine the club without him. However, Florentino Pérez has not yet made a definitive decision about his continuity

Luka Modric doesn't give up. He wants to keep making history, and everything indicates that, even though his contract ends on June 30, his story in soccer has not yet written its final chapter.
