It will take time before the team starts to grind out as Xabi Alonso wants, regarding Modric there was nothing else to do but give him away I know that for the Real Madrid fans it is very painful but it is something that had to be done and as soon as possible, on the other hand he will play for Milan and therefore he will be able to continue his career
Modrich has been with Real Madrid for a long time. But now Modrich is almost 40 years old. Modrich is definitely a very talented and experienced midfielder. There is no doubt about that. However, Madrid management is not willing to keep a 40-year-old player in their squad. Moreover, it is very difficult for Modrich to stay on the field for the full 90 minutes. By paying such high wages, Madrid will not keep a player in the squad who is not able to provide good service to Madrid. Madrid management is conscious about the cost of money. And this is why Madrid management let Modrich go even though there was no worthy replacement for Modrich.
