As we all know, whether Modric renews his contract with Real Madrid this summer has always been a topic of concern for fans. After all, the decorated veteran is nearing retirement, and if he can sign a new year with Real Madrid, then it is almost certain that he will hang up his boots and retire at the Bernabeu. As far as the emotions of the fans are concerned, they would like to see a banner figure like Luka Modric retire at Real Madrid. At the same time, it would be a pity if Modric failed to renew his contract with the team. Because players like the Magic Flute have not been able to retire at Real Madrid, it is really unacceptable to fans.

And in recent weeks, the talks between Modric and Real Madrid have indeed been full of twists and turns. The previous news was that the Real Madrid hierarchy led by Galeries Lafayette was not willing to continue to give Modric a contract, and the Croatian midfielder was close to leaving. However, just now the situation has reversed again, according to the authoritative Spanish media Serre Radio. Luka Modric has made concessions in his latest talks with Real Madrid's hierarchy and will be offered a contract extension.

It is reported that Real Madrid was reluctant to renew the contract with the Magic Flute, mainly because the team's midfield position was too crowded. And Modric's age is there, and it is unrealistic to want him to continue to contribute to the team in a consistent manner next season. Real Madrid is a highly commercial club, and they only look out for the interests of the team. So it doesn't matter if you are labeled cold-blooded and impersonal by outside fans and the media. They will still focus on the overall quality of the team, so there is no room for a veteran in form to survive at Real Madrid, and Luka Modric is no exception.

In the eyes of Lafayette and some of the higher-ups, the team will not get any substantial improvement from renewing Modric's contract for one year, which is why they were reluctant to renew the contract of the Magic Flute. However, as the negotiations between the two sides deepened, Modric took the initiative to show his loyalty, saying that he was open to any position in the team next season. He doesn't ask for a regular position, and he doesn't even need the coaching staff to guarantee him playing time. As long as you can stay at Real Madrid, even if it is a substitute in the bench. In addition to this, the Magic Flute also emphasized that his salary can be slashed drastically, thus freeing up salary space for the team.

It can be said that Modric sacrificed a lot in order to stay at Real Madrid, and he gave up all the rights that a superstar player should have. It's all about continuing to play for this club, which can be said to be touching. The Magic Flute's concession also surprised Florentino and others, who thought that few players could make such big concessions in order to stay in the team. On this basis, the top management decided to make an exception to give Modric a contract extension. The two parties will sign a contract for the next year.

Please note that this is not a simple one-year contract. This means that Real Madrid are looking at Modric's loyalty and giving him the right to retire from the team. Modric is almost certain to retire after this year, and it will be a great honour to say goodbye to the team and leave football amid flowers and applause at the Bernabeu Stadium. Even Ronaldo and others in previous years did not enjoy this treatment. It can be said that Real Madrid has given the Magic Flute a chance to say goodbye with dignity at this stage. It is worth mentioning that this season, Modric has also discussed with coach Carlo Ancelotti because of his playing time and playing order. But the Magic Flute later found himself out of his main position and a lot of playing time, and he had to compromise in the end.

The Magic Flute has indeed fulfilled his duties as a veteran, and this season he has given a lot of experience and guidance to the likes of Jude Bellingham and Camavinga. And in key battles, he also continued to defend the team's midfield with a stable and efficient performance. It can be said that whether it is experience or immediate combat power, Modric has achieved the top. On top of that, he took a further pay cut and voluntarily gave up playing time, and this concession also earned him the opportunity to retire at Real Madrid. What do you think about this?
