The scheming Alonso! He supports the renewal of Modric: locker room leader, Real Madrid makes a request

Young coach Alonso became Real Madrid head coach, and it was only an official announcement. He will lead the Galaxy battleships to the new Club World Cup and start a new coaching journey. The team's contract renewal and reinforcement signing have also entered a rapid "study". The latest report from the Spanish media "As" said Modric, 39, is very likely to renew his contract with the team for one year. At that time, the legend will be 40 years old. The Bernabeu may be his last stop and will lead Croatia to the 2026 World Cup as a Real Madrid player.

Magic Flute will receive a one-year contract extension. In addition to its own strength, the opinions of old teammate Alonso are the most critical, so "ruthless" Florentino must accept it. Returning to the Bernabeu as the head coach can be described as step by step. Alonso and Modric have always had a good personal relationship, and from 2012 to 2014 they were the team's absolute main partner. They know Magic Flute's playing style well and can be fully integrated into their own tactical system. This season, 56 official games have scored 4 goals and sent 9 assists, including 34 games in La Liga, 2 goals and 6 assists in the Champions League, 14 games and 3 assists in the Champions League, and basically no injuries. Next season, you can become the team's surprise.

More importantly, Modric's leading prestige in the locker room and the only remaining Golden Globe Awards in Real Madrid can completely help Alonso understand the team and help the team make a perfect transition, which is extremely important for Alonso.

Of course, Modric must accept two major conditions if he wants to renew his contract. First, he once again saw a significant salary cut. Modric had already accepted a significant salary cut last year - from 22 million euros before tax to 10.4 million, a decrease of more than 50%. And if he wants to wear Real Madrid's robe for another year, his salary will have to be further reduced. As for the final treatment, Modric's agent needs to be further negotiated with club chairman Florentino.

The second is to accept the role change. Real Madrid has clearly informed Magic Dim: Next season, you will no longer be the absolute main force, but the "shock of the secondary character". In short, sitting on the bench and accepting rotation will become the norm. For a 40-year-old veteran, this arrangement is not an exaggeration. I believe that this is absolutely acceptable to the Croatian captain.

In addition, Magic Flute has another goal: to participate in the 2026 World Cup as a Real Madrid player. If he stays at the top European clubs to play football, it will help him maintain his competitive form and continue to compete in international competitions for Croatia.

Florentino will not force himself to stay, but will not reject the legend. On the one hand, Florentino respects Alonso's coaching ideas; on the other hand, as a benchmark figure in team history, Modric is also worth a "decent farewell" or "inheritance journey", so one year of contract renewal can basically be described as a foregone conclusion.
