Modric is a smart midfielder for Real Madrid. Leading the Croatian side and to be runner up during the Last two world cup games. Modric cam still.do same but not to the Croatia way no more.
Modric is a game changer, how they were able to convince him to stay shows how relevance he is to the club and it's not surprising because despite his mate all left the club, he is still around improving Real Madrid style. However, I think Modric is made to be more of assists than goal scorers while Bellingham should be a prioritize as striker if he improve his game in Real Madrid. I could remember that Benzema was was once playing winger for Real Madrid back then when Ronaldo was still in his prime but as time goes on, he developed interest in playing as a striker and that has change his performance today.
Modric only have few years if not less than 2, because if indeed they want him for long time, the last contract he signed would have been for long period but was just a year contract that will last until June 2024. Who knows if he is going to live Spain finally and retire in Saudi Arabia to enjoy his share of the national cake of retirement because 37 is really high unless he is no Real Madrid family.
