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.
Jude Bellingham was brought in as one of Real Madrid's future midfielders after Modric and Kross no longer had contract extension options. These two veterans are excellent mentors for young players, but the adaptation process sometimes doesn't work out well for all new players.
There are players who fail to earn the coach's trust when introduced in one or two match, and it's clear that will haunt Bellingham at Real Madrid. But let's be honest that Bellingham is a player who will have a great future at Real Madrid. Meanwhile I agree that Madrid need a quality striker next season instead of relying on existing players, of course that won't help their plans to win lots of titles.
