The management decided: Thank you, Modric.. It's time to renew.

Although Modric expressed his willingness to take a pay cut and play a secondary role in the team, Real Madrid's management has made the final decision not to renew his contract. The club believes the time is right to begin rejuvenating the midfield in preparation for the team's long-term future.

Rodri is the most prominent candidate to replace Modric despite his injury. According to Spanish newspaper AS, Real Madrid has Manchester City star Rodrigo Hernandez "Rodri" at the top of their list of candidates. Despite suffering a cruciate ligament injury last September, his recent return to training has revived hopes of signing him. However, the club will wait to assess his condition after the Club World Cup before making a final decision.

Strong alternative names on Real Madrid's table

Besides Rodri, Real Madrid is monitoring several other names to strengthen its midfield:

Alexis Mac Allister (Liverpool): The Argentine star is a promising option, but the cost of signing him is high and could reach €90 million. Tijani Reynders (Milan): A stable midfielder who has renewed his contract until 2030 and has an estimated market value of around €80 million. Enzo Fernandez (Chelsea): The surprise name on the list, as the player expressed a strong desire to move to Real Madrid, but Chelsea's insistence on him complicates the deal and makes it very expensive.

Young bets are a less expensive option with a promising future.

Real Madrid's management has not overlooked the less expensive young talents, as they are closely monitoring the duo:

Angelo Stiller (Stuttgart): A German midfielder who is considered a future star. Hugo Larsson (Eintracht Frankfurt): A promising Swedish talent, but lacks experience in the Spanish League.
