The reason why Real Madrid will no longer renew Modric

Luka Modric, one of the historical pillars of Real Madrid, seems to be going through his last season at the Merengue club. At 39 years old, the Croatian midfielder has seen his prominence decrease, largely due to his age and physical wear and tear accumulated after so many years at the highest level. Although Madrid decided to renew him for another season, everything indicates that the end of his cycle is very close, especially if he does not retire from the Croatian national team.

As reported by journalist Tomás González-Martín, the White club has already made it clear that Modric will bid farewell in June, unless he decides to retire from the national team. For several seasons now, the club has advised the player that, to prolong his career in Madrid, he should focus solely on the team. However, the Croatian has continued to combine his role at the club with his participation in the national team, which has affected his performance.

They do not want him to have such a heavy load of matches

Modric, aware of this situation, faces a dilemma. On one hand, he wants to continue his career at Real Madrid, but he also wants to keep competing at the international level with Croatia. Given this scenario, the prospects of staying at Madrid seem slim, especially considering the offers he has from other teams, particularly from leagues that are less demanding but offer attractive salaries. These destinations would allow him to continue his career and remain available for his national team.

He will leave Real Madrid in June. I know all that mate but for three years now, Modric has been asked to leave the national team if he wants to continue at Madrid for longer; he has continued, but he has already been a substitute because of the enormous wear and tear, and if he doesn't leave it this year, he will leave Real

Regardless of his final decision, Modric's legacy in Real Madrid will be indelible. When he leaves, he will do so as a legend of the club and world football, with recognition that will match everything he has contributed throughout his career.
