Real Madrid, under Carlo Ancelotti, is on the verge of being eliminated from the Champions League, and their situation in La Liga is also far from ideal.
‘Los Blancos’ were defeated 3-0 by Arsenal in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals and are trailing Barcelona in the Spanish football elite.
Despite the results they are expected to face in these two competitions, significant changes are anticipated at the end of the season, with several players likely to leave and others expected to join.
Trent Alexander-Arnold is expected to join Real Madrid from Liverpool as a free agent, but there are also some major departures that are set to happen.
A particularly significant name could leave ‘Santiago Bernabeu’ after more than a decade of successful service with the 15-time European champions.
After renewing his contract for another year last summer, the future of 39-year-old Luka Modric is in doubt.
AS reported that Real Madrid has decided not to offer the Croatian a new contract, meaning he will be allowed to leave the club in the summer.
“Despite his age, Real Madrid captain Modric has appeared in 29 matches this season in La Liga, 13 of which have been from the start.”
“However, Modric’s time at Real Madrid may soon come to an end. Since joining from Tottenham in 2012, he has made 583 appearances for the Spanish club, scoring 43 goals and providing 93 assists.”
“Modric has won numerous trophies, including six Champions League titles, four La Liga titles, and two Copa del Reys,” added Daily Mail.
While Modric may leave, midfielder Martin Zubimendi and defender Dean Huijsen could be among the players who will be transferred.
