Even now that he is retired, Modric is already a legend in Real Madrid's history, and he doesn't seem to have any plans to leave football. At present, the contract renewal between Modric and Real Madrid is a one-year contract, as long as the two sides reach an agreement, the renewal can be completed at any time, and the previous Spanish media news that Modric is unlikely to continue to renew the contract with Real Madrid, and the possibility of Real Madrid forcing Modric to stay is not very likely, the two sides are likely to break up peacefully this summer, Real Madrid opens a new era of midfield, Modric goes overseas to pan for gold, but things have changed.
According to the Spanish reporter, Florentino was personally involved in the communication negotiations with Modric, and Modric also changed his mind, as long as Real Madrid is willing to offer a contract extension, he can make concessions in terms of salary and take a salary cut to stay at Real Madrid. At the beginning of this season, his enthusiasm for football is decreasing, and his greatest wish is to be able to retire from Real Madrid, as long as Real Madrid offers a one-year contract, he will not accept a high-salary offer from the Saudi league, but chooses to end his career at the same time as the end of his Real Madrid career after one year, and is willing to wait until the last minute of the transfer window.
In fact, Modric's attitude can also show his feelings for Real Madrid, just like the decision he made last year when facing a high-salary offer from the Saudi league, as long as Real Madrid is willing to renew his contract, his first choice will always be to stay with the La Liga giants. Compared with last year, Modric has also made a change, willing to take a pay cut to accept the team's contract extension, and is also willing to accept the team's substitution arrangement, which is also a huge concession for Modric. His playing time has dropped significantly since the start of the season, and there is a possibility that his playing time will be reduced next season.
Judging from the previous news, the reason why Modric chose to leave Real Madrid is the dissatisfaction with the playing time, this season Modric has played less than 2,000 minutes in the league and the Champions League, which is already a lot of playing time for the 38-year-old veteran, but Modric still hopes to get a stable chance to play. Therefore, it is not surprising that Modric accepted the conditions of the salary cut, but his willingness to accept the substitution arrangement in terms of playing time shows that Modric is really ready to retire at Real Madrid.
Real Madrid have won the league trophy this season, and the Champions League has reached the final again, against Borussia Dortmund, if they can win the title, Modric will win his sixth Champions League trophy and become a legend in the team's history. The 38-year-old has been at Real Madrid from the Premier League for 12 years, and he is also here as the last stop of his career, and now the option is once again in the hands of Real Madrid, who are willing to sign a contract if they are willing to give it, even if the terms do not meet his expectations.
