The other pending renewals of Real Madrid: in green Kroos and Lucas Vázquez, in amber Nacho and in red Modric

Toni Kroos, on his roof

The first case, and the one that arouses the most interest in Real Madrid fans and in the offices, is the German Toni Kroos. The German, at 33 years old, is completing an extraordinary season and it is assumed that the player can be renewed for another season. The president’s policy of annually renewing players over 30 years of age suggests that the club’s offer will not exceed that period. The unknown is knowing what plans Kroos has, who has commented on more than one occasion that he will think at the end of the course if he wants to continue playing football or retire to rest and enjoy his family. In Germany there is even talk that there are teammates from the German team who have called him to try to persuade him to play again for the Mannschaft in the Euro Cup that will be held this summer in his country. Be that as it may, in the Bernabéu offices the intention is to extend his relationship with Madrid after the great season he is having, being one of the players that Ancelotti has stood out the most in the first part of the season.

Luka Modric walks away

The case of Luka Modric is different. The Croatian has earned the love and respect of fans, teammates and leaders. But At 38 years old, his time in Madrid seems to be coming to an end and in the offices there is more talk of a great farewell than of a renewal. Luka has lost a lot of prominence in the team, even though Ancelotti has always praised him publicly, but his seniority already prevents him from being up to par in the physically demanding clashes in which Tchouaméni, Valverde, Camavinga or Kroos are ahead of him. he. Modric rejected a dizzying offer from Saudi Arabia in August, but it seems that this coming summer he could accept it and go to the East to finish his sporting career, securing a final contract that would comfortably ensure the lives of his children and even his grandchildren.

Lucas, for the decade as a white player

Lucas Vázquez, at 33 years old, is another who has hard-earned the renewal. Carletto is delighted with the performance of the Galician, who years ago assumed his role as a wild card on the right wing, as a converted full-back or wide midfielder. The decisive goal in Vitoria against Alavés in the last game before Christmas crowned a magnificent start to the season for the youth player, who after trying out a season at Espanyol returned to the Bernabéu, where he is completing his ninth season in the first team. A club player who does not make any reproaches whether he plays or not and always comes out with better availability, he is a footballer highly valued by Ancelotti. Lucas has already publicly declared that his priority is to renew with Madrid to complete a decade with the white team.in which he has already won four Champions Leagues.

Nacho, the ‘one club man’

The last case is that of Nacho Fernández, andThe center back of the quarry and captain of the first team, who at 33 years old has already spent 13 seasons in the first team. This year he is having more opportunities due to the plague of injuries and he is complying with what Ancelotti demands of him, although his work has been punctuated by two avoidable expulsions that have stained his impeccable record. Real Madrid is combing the market in search of a top center back to sign next summer and is not contemplating spending money to get another one now in January. A loan, the relocation of Tchouauméni or the promotion of a youth player are the alternatives that the club is considering while waiting for Militao to recover from his torn cruciate ligament, he is expected in March or April. Alaba is low for the remainder of the season. But in that context The question arises regarding the renewal of Nacho, who has offers from Italy and the Premier, but has always chosen to remain as a ‘one club man’. We will see if this summer he maintains that status or decides to try outside. The club has not yet taken a position in this case.

Therefore, within hours of them being free and able to negotiate with whichever team they want, The situation seems clear for Kroos and Lucas Vázquez, more doubtful for Nacho, and in the case of Modric we would be facing his last season at Real Madrid. which arrived in the summer of 2012, after the Euro Cup in Poland and Ukraine, when he starred in a very tough negotiation between Florentino and Daniel Levy to get Luka out of Tottenham. This summer, twelve years later, Modric will say goodbye, if nothing strange happens, to the Bernabéu as one of the great players in its history, in addition to being one of the seven players who won the Ballon d’Or as a Real Madrid player.
