Carlo Ancelotti says it is up to Luka Modric to decide whether he wants to continue at Real Madrid beyond this season.
The Real Madrid coach has refused to comment on Luka Modric’s contract extension at Real Madrid, saying the decision is in the player’s hands. The veteran midfielder, who has served Los Blancos for the past 12 years, has just six months left on his contract.
“We celebrated Luka because he deserved it, he scored a great goal which gave us three points, and he contributed much more. He showed that it was very difficult to leave him on the bench. Not just because of the goal, but also because of the way he trains every day. »
Tick, tock… Modric must make a decision
“ It’s up to Luka to decide what he wants to do. We must wait for his decision. Out of respect for him, I can’t give him advice. He knows perfectly well what he must do. The quality of minutes is more important than the quantity ». The Croatian international scored his club’s only goal on Sunday in Sevilla FC’s 1-0 victory in a crucial La Liga match.
This victory allowed the club to maintain its eight-point lead at the top of the standings. Since the start of the season, Modric has participated in 21 league matches, including 11 as a starter. The Merengues will play Valencia in the league on Saturday before facing RB Leipzig in the Champions League on March 6.
