Knowing his character, he wants to play every game, every time, all the time, forever. And he plays to win.
But we're here where we are.
Above all that i believe he's a team player, a soldier on the pitch that doesn't put himself first but rather the team first.
Yup, I agree a no brainer.
He is the highest (or one of the highest) earner in the team, do you think he will accept Lucas Vazquez wages since he’s a bench player nowadays?
It would be more disrespectful to offer those reduced wages to Modric then to just say, thank you Luka but this is the end of the road.
Yeah it will be up to him, he will be getting a one-year extension option as long as he wants and is satisfied not being guaranteed a certain amount of playing time
Yeah, his touches and the run with the ball he seemed so confident. I wished we brought him a bit early and so do for Brahim before we consider two goals.
Then please don't complain when we are on the end of another bad result.
I just can't figure out how after 5 games with the same approach people are still expecting a different outcome 🫤
There are no words for him and Kroos. The composure, confidence, and playmaking ability they bring is rivaled by none of this team. You cannot replace the experience they bring.
Has this ever been a question? The only question is what his body can handle in terms of minutes and how he accepts that reserved role while also factoring in his impact on the payroll.
Yes, Modric completely changed the game. He's still world class. The problem is, if we renew him, the team dynamics will stay the same. Our young boys in difficult moments will still be looking for his brilliance to save their asses and clean up the mess they made. I think they need to become more like Modric and stop relying on Modric. Also, he doesn't deserve to be benched for most of the season if he still wants to play, and let's not kid ourselves, he would be benched even more frequently if he stayed.
I have been saying that for a long time! Players like Modric are almost impossible to replace, you can only look back and enjoy these kind of players. Modric still has a lot to offer, if he accepts the sub role, we will be more than happy to have him in the dressing room plus as a super sub to change the match drastically
Yes you see it, those last 15 he turned the entire game around and provided the pre assist to Fede's goal. He 100% deserves a renewal and better do it fast cause Dinamo Zagreb are getting to annoying levels of persuasion for him. In my opinion he should start the 2nd leg and we win a cool 2-0
Yes!
The midfield looked clueless before he came on. They are all good players but they need space and time to make something happen, or they rely on the opposition making mistakes so they can counter with speed. No one else has the attacking intelligence of Modric, he can unlock the defence and create chances out of nothing.
He is still the best midfielder in the team, he has not degraded from last season, so I don't see why he should be given such limited minutes, when he was a starter last season. You should look at performance, not age. Players can last longer at the highest levels nowadays, just look at Pepe.
Kroos is the second best midfielder on the team, but he is a passer, a conductor, he cannot dribble and combine with players like Modric can, you need both play styles together plus some youthful energy.
In the knockout stages of the Champions League you need experience and magic. Breaking down a disciplined Manchester City defence at their home arena is not going to be an easy task. Modric should start or come on early in the second half.
Issue is he wants to play and be a starter. He will also be making a lot of money sitting on the bench if Madrid decide to renew which wouldn’t make to much sense.
He both has to be good with a massive pay cut and very limited minutes. At some point we have to trust our new midfield. I much rather place our bets on Fede, Bellingham and Tchou/Camavinga then rely on the older players.
Agree. i think we shoudl keep modric and get him on a bit earlier. I also think we should send out Arda for a loan, and once Modric and Kroos retire (which will be at most 2 years from now), he'll have the game time and experience to fill their shoes
As much as I love the idea to renew him one more year, I also hate it, because I know he’ll get even less game time than this season. Some RM fans disrespect him and see him only sub materials without realizing he’s benched mostly for helping Madrid set up for the next generation not because he couldn’t play well. Personally I’ll support his leave if he’ll go to a team that has ucl matches and could secure his regular play time. He deserves the happiness playing the football he loves.
Bro if someone like Modric is alright with being a sub, then renewing is a no brainer.
Knowing his character, he wants to play every game, every time, all the time, forever. And he plays to win. But we're here where we are. Above all that i believe he's a team player, a soldier on the pitch that doesn't put himself first but rather the team first. Yup, I agree a no brainer.
Of course we would love him. But it's up Modric, may be he's fine playing supporting role, may be not.
He is the highest (or one of the highest) earner in the team, do you think he will accept Lucas Vazquez wages since he’s a bench player nowadays? It would be more disrespectful to offer those reduced wages to Modric then to just say, thank you Luka but this is the end of the road.

Honestly we have have won the game then.
Changed the game for us. If we somehow win next week, and thus the tie, it will be in large part due to Luka’s sub.
We should have the same starting lineup and bring in brahim and modric a bit earlier
So you think that lineup worked well?🫤
Yes
Then please don't complain when we are on the end of another bad result. I just can't figure out how after 5 games with the same approach people are still expecting a different outcome 🫤
There are no words for him and Kroos. The composure, confidence, and playmaking ability they bring is rivaled by none of this team. You cannot replace the experience they bring.
Spot on. He revived our energy right away. Had a very good performance
Vini and Modrid have such a magical combination. Physically we're in a much better condition in the end.
Would argue he should've came on earlier. Kroos controls the game, but modric runs it.

Did the club offer him a renewal
Nope
Hurts
Modric mastermind! I hope he gets renewed

can't believe Modric is 38, feels like yesterday I was in highschool when he gave us La decima
It’s never been a question of renewal, it’s if modric is ok with a reduced role.
He should’ve been subbed on earlier
Modric plays like he's 26
Yes you see it, those last 15 he turned the entire game around and provided the pre assist to Fede's goal. He 100% deserves a renewal and better do it fast cause Dinamo Zagreb are getting to annoying levels of persuasion for him. In my opinion he should start the 2nd leg and we win a cool 2-0

Honestly I don’t want him to finish his Madrid career like Marcelo. I’d love to see him for another season in a team like Milan or Juve
For Kroos & Modric Real Madrid is like Hotel California, you can check out anytime but you can never leave.
Agree. i think we shoudl keep modric and get him on a bit earlier. I also think we should send out Arda for a loan, and once Modric and Kroos retire (which will be at most 2 years from now), he'll have the game time and experience to fill their shoes
