Luka Modric is already a Real Madrid legend, this is indisputable, but he may still miss out on winning a title that is not in his trophy cabinet. We’re talking about the Club World Cup.
This could happen due to contractual “issues” with the player, as his contract ends in 2025.
Modric may not play in the Club World Cup if he does not renew with Real Madrid
Currently, Luka Modric, Lucas Vazquez and Jesus Vallejo are both under contract at the end of this season. If they do not renew, on June 30th, they will no longer be Real Madrid players.

What does this have to do with the Club World Cup? It’s very easy. This tournament will end on July 13, 2025, after that June 30th. Therefore, if these players are not updated, they will not be able to play in this hypothetical final of the Club World Cup.
This is obviously a big problem for these players and for Real Madrid they can’t count on them as they won’t renew.
Luka Modric could be renewed for one more season
The Real Madrid Croatian has a very clear role in Carlo Ancelotti’s team this season. Modric is a regular replacement, but he often comes on the field as a game changer or to control the match.
It’s true that there was a time when it seemed like the players weren’t happy with all this. It’s natural: he went from undisputed starter to replacement. However, it now appears that Modric is aware of his reality and age and has accepted this role.

It would be great news for Modric to renew his contract for another season if Real Madrid think it is a fit. The truth is, having a player like Modric on the bench is at the top level.
Ancelotti is happy to have Luka for another season
If Carlo Ancelotti is Real Madrid’s coach next season, he will certainly want to have Modric. Carlo has always shown that the Croats are his favorite.
A while ago he said this about the player:
“Modrić? He is a gift to football, especially to those who can enjoy him up close. Fans, players, coaches… For me, he is a great gift.”
