Innocent? Real Madrid cleans up the captain for five consecutive years! Magic Dior wants to stay for one year but was rejected by Lafayette: To train new people

On May 22, Real Madrid officially announced that they would not renew their contract with captain Modric. The 39-year-old Croatian legend will leave the team freely after this summer's Club Cup. According to Spanish media Relevo, Modric originally planned to renew his contract with Real Madrid for one year, but was flatly rejected by the club's senior management.

It is reported that the reason why Modric chose to leave this summer is ultimately due to a key meeting with Florentino, which determines Modric's future. Although Modric himself hopes to stay in the team for another year, "God of Lafayette" flatly refused.

Because after the failure of this season, the club's senior management led by Real Madrid President Florentino has decided to focus on cultivating young players in the new season, so they will naturally not renew their contract with Modric, who is about to retire, who is about to be 40 years old.

It is sad that with Modric leaving the team this summer, Real Madrid has been sending away the first captain in the team for five consecutive years. In 2021, Ramos did not renew his contract and left the team and switched to Paris Saint-Germain, ending his 16-year career in Real Madrid. In 2022, Marcelo left the team freely and joined Olympiacos, ending his more than 15 years of career in the White Army.

In 2023, then Real Madrid's first captain Benzema also left the Bernabeu as a free agent and switched to Saudi club Jeddah United, ending his 14-year Real Madrid career. Last summer, Real Madrid's first captain Nacho left the club after his contract expired, ending his 23-year career in Real Madrid, and also went to the Saudi League's newly promoted Hubairkucdisia.

And this summer, it is Real Madrid's first captain Modric's turn to officially end his 13-year Real Madrid career. At present, the next player of the Croatian legend has not been confirmed.
