The Merengues are preparing for a summer rich in changes with the arrival of Xabi Alonso in place of Ancelotti at the end of the season.
We can feel the end of an era in Madrid: Ancelotti leaves for Brazil and Alonso brings a breath of freshness.
Modric's future has been uncertain since the start of the year, despite his wish to stay in Madrid.
Updating Luka Modric's contract for the Club World Cup
The approaching FIFA club World Cup has created an anomaly for the season, the season extending until July.
The current Modric contract expires at the end of June, but an option has been activated to allow it to finish the tournament, which could extend until mid-July if Real Madrid qualifies for the round of 16.
The 39 -year -old is willing to continue his one -year contract renewal policy, but the decision could be withdrawn.
The departure of Ancelotti suggests a departure from Modric du Real Madrid
Real Madrid won a 2-0 liga victory against Seville in his penultimate match of the season. Ancelotti will officially say goodbye on May 25 after his last match of the 2024/25 season at home against Real Sociedad.
Ancelotti spoke after the match in Andalusia and was not very convinced by the maintenance of his captain for the 2025/26 season.
“Everyone knows how much Real Madrid supporters love him. They have time to make the best decision for him, the club and the future, ”reports Marca.
Modric remains focused on the 2026 World Cup next summer because he wishes to lead Croatia to this tournament, which would be a major asset if he continued to play at the highest level.
It is not yet known whether a decision concerning Modric will be made before Alonso had the chance to speak to his former teammate.
