Another superstar! Modric teamed up with Messi to join Miami in the winter window, and the King of Plum smiled
Just now, according to the exact news brought by ESPN, Miami International is in talks with Real Madrid star Modric. The Real Madrid midfielder is currently looking for the most suitable way to finish his career. Originally, the Croatian wanted to end his illustrious career in Madrid, but from the current situation, Modridge has changed his mind and he is more eager to retire in a comfortable league, and it is clear that Miami Internacional is a good choice.
It is reported that Modric originally hoped to renew Real Madrid for another year. Real Madrid's top brass thought the same way, but after weighing it up, the Magic Flute only extended his contract with the team until next summer. For the Magic Flute, he now has two options, either to extend his contract with Real Madrid for another year and retire directly in 2025. Or just leave the team next summer and retire in another league. Apparently Magic Flute chose the latter, he didn't want to be away from football life so soon, he was more eager to enjoy football. Of course, some fans will ask, staying in Real Madrid to retire is also a good choice, but the truth is not as simple as imagined.
Real Madrid is a highly commercialized and highly competitive club, and it is difficult for an aging veteran to have a decent ending here. Generally speaking, Real Madrid's veterans are purged when their competitive level does not meet the requirements of the team. Whether it is players such as Raul, Casillas, or Pepelamos in previous years, they all left Real Madrid with a certain level of competition, and did not leave their declining side in the team. The Magic Flute is no exception, and now that he has lost his place in the main force at Real Madrid, even the substitute sometimes struggles to get a chance to play.
The former ceremonial three midfielders have now been replaced by newcomers, and the youngsters such as Bellingham, Camavinga, Chuameni and Valverde all have a wealth of experience and excellent standards, which have left veterans such as Magic Flute and Kroos without space. And in the case of a very crowded midfield, the Magic Flute and others can't even rotate the main force. It is unrealistic to extend his contract with Real Madrid for another year on this basis, staying on the bench is not the style of the magic flute, and Real Madrid may not continue to offer him a contract extension next summer. So leaving at this time is the best option. It is worth mentioning that the Miami international did not want to sign Modric next summer.
Due to the peculiarities of the American professional league schedule, they have different times than the five major leagues, and the summer is not the end of the season but the middle of the season. So the Miami International hopes to take the Magic Flute away in the winter window to start a new season. This is actually completely acceptable for Real Madrid, and Modric's immediate combat power at this stage does not have much value other than being able to provide veteran experience in individual competitions. Getting picked up by Miami International is not a bad choice. According to ESPN, Modric is very eager to join Miami International, and he is more eager to play in the MLS. The living conditions and environment here are very suitable for the retirement of a star like him.
In fact, Modric is not the only MLS option, in fact, the Saudi league has tried several times to sign the Golden Ball midfielder. Even if the price is 100 million euros, the magic flute is not at all, he believes that the low level of competition in the Saudi league and the harsh climate are not a good place to go. And the Magic Flute, like Messi Mbappe and others, is not a player who pays very much attention to salary. Even if the salary is lower in the MLA, he is willing. Of course, for fans, the Magic Flute winter window joining Miami International is not only a veteran who has found a good place to retire. You must know that in Miami Internacional, Messi, Modric and Messi as the best No. 10 players in European football in the past few years, the combination of the two is also quite dramatic.
After all, the two have always represented Real Madrid and Barca respectively, and there are many famous games at both the national team competition and the club level. The teaming up of two shy and low-key masters is a blessing for the fans. So in your opinion, what can the Magic Flute achieve by joining Miami International and joining Messi?
