May 20th News Ass reported that although he is close to 40 years old, Modric is still one of the players who have created the most goals, participated in the most offense, passed the ball, and even made the most steals.

This shows that he is not an ordinary player, Modric has always been unique, and he constantly proves that his value has not diminished in the slightest. At least, he is a trustworthy top substitute, and his value is immeasurable to the team. This fact also prompted the club to consider renewing its contract with Modric. New head coach Xavi Alonso has expressed support for the decision. Although the final decision is in the hands of the club, Alonso's recognition is undoubtedly an important driving force.

Modric himself is also very willing to stay in Real Madrid. Last summer, he accepted a salary cut that even exceeded the club's expectations. Now, salary issues will not be a barrier to renewal. Last summer, he rejected a huge contract from Saudi Arabia as he hopes to realize two dreams before he retires in the summer of 2026: hanging boots at Real Madrid and representing Croatia in the World Cup in the United States, Mexico and Canada.

Ancelotti is about to leave, so he has not made any public statements to avoid putting pressure on the club or affecting Alonso's decisions. However, in his speech against Sevilla, he still revealed his thoughts: "Everyone knows how much Real Madrid loves Modric. They will have time to make the most appropriate decisions, whether it is for the club, for him or for the future."

At present, it seems that Modric's contract renewal is becoming increasingly likely. Alonso believes that Modric's creativity is very useful for the team's future style of play. He hopes the team can dominate the game by possessing the ball and controlling the game, and Modric is an important tool to achieve that, even if he plays more of a substitute role. Modric has demonstrated extremely high professionalism over the past season, and his presence has provided valuable depth to the team. The final decision is still in Real Madrid's hands, but Modric is getting closer and closer to renewing the contract.
