Real Madrid shortlist Luka Modric's replacement!
According to press reports, Real Madrid have already shortlisted a replacement for Luka Modric's departure at the end of the season. After 13 seasons with the club, the journey seems to be coming to an end after it was expected, according to reports, that Luka Modric wanted to stay for one more season with a lower salary.
However, it looks like it's time for a change at the Bernabéu with the arrival of Xabi Alonso, who, according to Fabrizio Romano and other reports, is certain to be Real Madrid's next coach.
Real Madrid are looking for a new Modric replacement!
The Spanish giants are reportedly preparing for life after Luka Modric, their legendary midfielder who has collected an astonishing 28 trophies during his tenure at the Bernabéu. According to AS, the club has identified three high-profile targets to fill the impending void. Leading their wishlist is Liverpool's Alexis Mac Allister, fresh off helping the Reds claim Premier League glory. However, prying him away from Anfield won't come cheap—his contract runs until 2028, meaning Madrid would need to table a substantial offer.
Rodri Emerges as Primary Target
While Mac Allister presents an attractive option, Real Madrid's ambitions don't stop there. Chelsea's Enzo Fernandez has also made their shortlist, though his potential transfer fee could exceed €100 million. Yet, it's Manchester City's Rodri who appears to be their top priority. Despite his recent injury setback, the Ballon d'Or-winning midfielder remains highly coveted by Los Blancos. His composure, tactical intelligence, and proven pedigree at the highest level make him the ideal candidate to anchor Madrid's midfield for years to come. The coming weeks will reveal whether they can turn this ambitious plan into reality
