This is actually good news in my opinion. Especially I am very happy to actually know that Luka Modrić is staying. Even though he is old, the quality of him actually surpasses anything else. Tony Kroos could also play for a longer period of time. But we all know that the Kroos is not someone to do that. You know Kroos has previously famously said that "he is retiring because he is not able to give his 100% anymore." But you know even 70% from him is good enough. That also applies for Luka Modrić as well. Florentino Pérez and CEO José Ángel Sánchez said they are in discussion about reducing Modric's salary a little Modric also accepts that and they committed money is not important here.

Anyway, I am happy that he is staying. Carlo Ancelotti is going to have a really quality player on the bench if he stays.

Real Madrid are entirely in formidable shape, I see no opponents capable of withstanding their pressures. Toni Kroos and Luka Modric are partners and they've accomplished brilliant records together. However Toni Kroos made public notice regarding his exits from Santiago Bernabéu this season, after winning treble with Carlo Ancelotti this season, the German have taught of high time to hanged his boots and enjoyed his moment.

Kroos is a complete professional. He wants to leave football at the top and spend more time with his family. I understand him on this issue because he has worked hard for years. He'll need some rest, too. We know that money is not important to him because he is blind to the astronomical offers that may come from the Saudis. In addition, if he returns to football after a year, he has the quality to play in big teams again. I think he will listen to himself and rest a little. I remember him with respect and thank him for his efforts in football.

I believe that this may be the last year Modric plays and he will retire after the 2024/2025 season ends. Real Madrid has long had a tradition of not using veterans, but with heroes who have been around for a long time and still make contributions, Los Blancos' leadership can still offer the option of a 1-year extension if desired. Luka Modric is still confident that he will play an important role under Carlo Ancelotti. This is quite a bold decision by Los Blancos because this Modric costs them a lot of money, thereby limiting the team from buying more rookies in the upcoming transfer window.

As for Kroos, if he can keep it, it will be more favorable than Modric's because the German midfielder is only 34 years old. Kroos still has more health to contribute, but he has chosen to retire. He wants a beautiful ending right at his peak, a successful career and retirement is also a good part, for the next generation of young players to show off.

I think it will be a great guide for young players. We see how Kroos helps the young people on the team. I'm sure he'll make a great coach, but right now he probably wants to spend time with his family. I think he has the potential to play for a few more years, but whether he plays or not is up to him. If we talk about Luka Modrić, he already had an excellent career at Real Madrid. He became one of the iconic players for the team. I am sure that if he finishes football in Real Madrid, they will give him a very good anniversary.
