On August 21, according to Spanish media “Mundo Deportivo,” Real Madrid midfielder Luka Modric wants to participate in the next World Cup, but Real Madrid hopes the player will focus on the club.
Croatian midfielder will turn 39 years old on September 9th. He is a current legend, and Modric often delivers phenomenal performances, as if giving a masterclass to substitute players in midfield.
However, to Real Madrid’s surprise, Modric confirmed that he will continue to play for the national team, which is not well-received by the club, as they hope he would end his international career after renewing his contract at age 39 and focus on Real Madrid.
Kroos’ retirement means Real Madrid must rely more on Modric, and if Modric continues to give his all for the national team, it could pose a significant risk to his physical condition.
In response, Ancelotti will significantly increase Modric’s rest time to ensure that Modric maintains optimal physical condition over the next ten months of this season.
