Newcastle are interested in Real Madrid and Germany's 31-year-old midfielder Toni Kroos. Interesting news but I’m not sure how realistic it is for that transfer to really happen.
If Real Madrid can sign a new top midfielder in the next transfer window that has the same position as Toni Kroos, the transfer can be realistic. But if Newcastle wants a Real Madrid midfielder that has a bigger chance to sign, why don't they try to contact Modric? I don't think Real Madrid wants to agree with a long-term contract with him. Modric is already an old player (36), probably Real Madrid will put him on the transfer list on the next transfer window.
Liverpool are considering a move for Real Madrid and Serbia striker Luka Jovic. Jovic failed at Real, can he succeed at Liverpool?
He can succeed in Liverpool. The problem with this player in Real Madrid is rarely got a chance to play. It is classic problem of a new young player in Real Madrid. If The main player can show a good performance, a new young player mostly spends his time on the bench only. Unluckily for him that Benzema is always showing his best form so far.
I have been following Modric for a very long time, and all his interviews and statements, and I know that his goal is to finish his playing career at Real, and later probably continue to work at Real as a coach or sports director, maybe.
Unlike Ramos, Modric has agreed to a one-year contract extension and salary cut this year, thus showing he has no desire to leave Real.
As for Jovic, it seems to me that his main problem is a lack of self-confidence due to the failure at Real and the great media criticism.
Maybe it would be best for him to go to some smaller club where he could play and regain confidence.
