As the end of the season closes in, Real Madrid must once again begin the saga of contract renewals.
Last summer, Los Blancos were faced with a long list of players who were set to be free agents and while they managed to convince most to stay, some like Karim Benzema opted to leave.
Come June, Real Madrid will be faced with the same task.
One year extensions
As revealed by MARCA, Lucas Vazquez, Nacho Fernandez, and Luka Modric all end their contracts with Real Madrid this summer and are seen as the big fish.
The Spanish outlet reveals that Los Blancos will provide a one-year renewal proposal to all three aforementioned players.
The decision of whether to stay for another season or not will lie with the players, and a longer contract will not be offered.
Nacho, the club captain, has been informed of Real Madrid’s interest in renewing his deal. He has not yet made a final decision, and there will be no problem if he wants to continue leading the club for one more year.
Modric and Vazquez, meanwhile, have still received no communication about the renewal. Movements are expected in the coming months, for Carlo Ancelotti still sees them to be essential to the team’s project.
Interest from Arabia
Saudi Arabia is reportedly interested in signing all three of the Real Madrid talents named above during the summer transfer window, as was disclosed earlier today.
When their contractual position is taken into consideration, they are on the radar of a number of teams in the league that is situated in the Middle East.
The Saudis have made proposals that Real Madrid is unable to match, and the club will not make any effort to bridge the gap. The players’ ability to continue playing will be entirely contingent on their desire to wear the coveted jersey and their readiness to forego the luxury of maintaining their financial situation.
Due to the fact that Carlo Ancelotti has diminished Modric’s role at Real Madrid, it is possible that he may decide to leave the club in the summer, despite the fact that he has received a renewal offer.
Due to the fact that a return to Croatia is becoming an increasingly viable option, the Croatian has previously rejected the Saudi option and may continue to do so.
On the other hand, Vazquez and Nacho have a good chance of remaining at Real Madrid this season. In the event of the latter, the choice may be contingent on Real Madrid’s outcome regarding the acquisition of a new young center back.
