Two of the secondary files are the midfielder and central defender positions. It remains to be seen what they want to do in terms of recruitment, although recent reports claim that they will attempt to bring in a midfielder and see how David Alaba returns to the game before deciding what to do in defense. Central defender Jesus Vallejo will be said goodbye when his contract expires, that’s for sure.
Regarding Luka Modric, there are fewer certainties, explains Diario AS. Los Blancos, however, will not put any pressure on him and will leave it up to him to decide whether to stay, retire or leave the club.
What about Modric?
The 39-year-old recently became the oldest to play for Madrid, and he will have to weigh the pros and cons, given the possibility of another arrival, if he wants to stay at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Modric had always said that if he didn’t start he would leave the club, but he adapted well to a secondary role last season. This year he has so far made 25 appearances, including 10 as a starter. In those appearances, he also contributed 4 assists and started several key matches, including half of the Champions League matches, clearly retaining a role in Carlo Ancelotti’s thinking, even if Dani Ceballos appears to have passed him by in the hierarchy in recent weeks.
