Real Madrid will have a new captain next season as Luka Modric will take over the armband from Nacho Fernandez, whose departure from the club was announced earlier this week.
I believe that Luka Modric is an iconic captain only because he will not have too many appearances next season as one of eleven chosen players for Real Madrid debut squad. It will barely be possible for Modric to appear in their debut squad and he will play mainly as a substitution next season.
The main choice for Real Madrid's captain armband will belong to Dani Carvajal who still has good position and importance in the club.
The 38-year-old veteran midfielder has been at Real Madrid for 12 years now and has etched his name in the storied history of the club.
In his time at the Santiago Bernabeu, Modric has achieved great things and is already a legend of the club. Despite that, the hunger for success and the burning desire to scale greater heights remains intact.
Luka Modric did his smart decision because by staying at Real Madrid, he will have opportunities to win one or two more Champions League titles. With Mbappe next season, Real Madrid will continue to be one of strongest and most competitive teams in Champions League and might win it again. Playing 5, 10 or 15 matches as a substitution, it's not matter if at the end, he will lift Champions League trophy again.
Luka will help young midfielders in Real Madrid through training and valuable advice too.
