During Real Madrid's first training session yesterday, it was seen that Toni Kroos was mentoring the young players and it is hoped he will set a great veteran example for every young player in the generations to come. I think that not only Kroos but Modric will also do the same to help every young player at Real Madrid to develop more and when the games are difficult they have the winning mentality that has been passed down from a long time ago. Maybe that's why Real Madrid gave Kroos and Modric a contract extension as a companion for young players for the next season. Real Madrid knows very well what is needed at this time to improve the game of its young generation.
Toni Kroos and Luka Modric are expected to be mentors to young players next season because after all the two players have more playing hours and have faced a much higher pressure than the players who are left now. Their presence at the club can actually provide motivation for young players because they both have so much experience in facing important matches and may be true as you say for this reason Real Madrid extended a one -year contract for Luka Modric.
Jude Bellingham will be a new force in midfield and I also want to wait for the latest news about the striker they will contract next season, because relying on the squad they have at this time will make the front line a little weak for Real Madrid. I hope Real Madrid will make a quick choice for next season's striker and they must have quality strikers to compete with other clubs.
If we look at the current total there are 8 midfielders including Kroos and Modric who are available at Real Madrid starting next season and for sure it will be a challenge for these midfielders to compete for the starter spot. I think Kroos and Modric's minutes will be reduced starting next season because if you continue to rely on these two players it will be more difficult to go through the next two seasons without any development from the midfield. Regarding striker number 9, Real Madrid has yet to find certainty and it is likely that this will not be achieved under the current circumstances. While Real Madrid might use Joselu as an alternative striker and hope he can make the maximum contribution.
