Xavi Alonso highly recommends: Real Madrid wants to renew their contract with Modric

Not surprisingly, as he is about to officially take over as Real Madrid head coach, Xavi Alonso has made suggestions to the club's senior management: renew his contract with 38-year-old Croatian midfielder Luca Modric as soon as possible, so that he can play for Real Madrid for at least another season.

In Alonso's view, Modric has long surpassed the identity of an ordinary player. It not only represents excellent professional spirit and tenacious fighting will, but also is the core force in the stability of the locker room and an important bridge connecting the past and the future. His presence not only inspires the younger generation, but also helps the team keep pace and calm at critical moments.

Alonso firmly believes that Modric will continue to play an indispensable role in the locker room. He is not only a role model at the technical level, but also a leader at the spiritual level. This experience is especially valuable especially when the team is facing a critical turning point.

Therefore, the incoming young coach has officially proposed to extend Modric's contract, hoping that the legendary midfielder can usher in his 14th season at the Bernabeu.

Although he will turn 40 in September next year, Modric still maintains an amazing competitive state. In the 2024/25 season, he made 55 appearances in various competitions (according to Transfermarkt data), showing extremely high attendance and stability. Whether it is the restrained and scheduling in the La Liga or the calm control of the Champions League, he proved that he is still a trustworthy member of the Ancelotti system.

More importantly, Alonso admires Modric's never-ending attitude. Even when facing the challenges brought by age, he never complains and always welcomes every training and competition with a positive attitude. Nowadays, many midfielders are frequently plagued by injuries, Modric has become synonymous with "professional model".

Some believe that leaving older players can hinder the growth of young people. But Alonso does not agree with this view. In his opinion, Modric is precisely the catalyst in the growth of young players. He is not the existence that blocks the light, but the person who ignites the fire.

Under his influence, the new generation of players can not only learn how to deal with high pressure games, but also understand how to stay focused and disciplined in difficult times. This "intergenerational inheritance" is exactly the ideal model pursued by Alonso - both experience precipitation and fresh blood injection.

From a deeper perspective, renewal of Modric is not only for competitive considerations, but also a recognition of a loyal veteran's contributions over the years. He is a part of Real Madrid's culture and an important part of the club's history.

Therefore, Alonso promoted this contract renewal plan before officially taking charge, undoubtedly sending a clear signal: he hopes to build a stable lineup with veterans as the core and young talents as the driving force.

For Modric himself, this is not only a contract to continue his career, but also a commitment to honor and responsibility. He will continue to inherit the spiritual fire of Real Madrid on the court and sow the seeds of dreams in the hearts of a new generation of players.

It can be foreseen that Real Madrid will likely fight side by side with the great No. 10 player again to start another journey full of passion and glory. Under the leadership of Xavi Alonso, Modric's story is not over yet, and the Bernabeu will continue to echo his immortal melody.
