Modric leaving wont hurt Real Madrid. Their team is too strong. He's a great player. Though faint, it will leave a mark. Talent loss always has repercussions.
Those Ancelotti rumors may be true. Its possible Modric has a natural coaching instinct. Many top midfielders do. He reads the game like no one else, which is invaluable for a coach.
See what happens. Retirement? Another team? Folks, Im unaware. I know that until his contract expires, he's Real Madrid, and they'll want to keep him. Wait and see what they decide.
Modric is indeed a great player. His body is not as good as the players in Europe, but he has advantages in handling the ball and with accurate passes.
Modric really understands the game requested by Ancelotti. he has played for Madrid for quite a long time. and his departure will still make his name great in the eyes of fans.
Now he is 38 years old, he plays for Madrid and the Croatian national team. I think he will definitely choose to give a young player to replace him. If he retired now, Modric would also have to be proud of his achievements throughout the history of his professional career.
