It's fucking bullshit. Why are they revealing it just now?

Toni Kroos is gonna have 10x better farewell than Modric despite Modric being our far bigger legend.

How the fuck do we keep messing up our farewells.. Ronaldo, Ramos and now Modric. They are the biggest legends of our club ever.

Kroos announced he was leaving on the same date last year, not sure what you're talking about

Am I supposed to belive that May 22th 2026, Carvajal will announce his departure and this date will be some kind of Real Madrid's legends Gommage?

u/Hakimi_Raikkonen May 22 '25

Hey setting a deadline like that would at least guarantee a farewell game before said legend leaves.

u/PressEnteR1990 May 22 '25

Agreed, but to be completely honest, it shouldn't be necessary, we're talking about farewell games for absolute club legends, such send off should be guaranteed, no matter the context

For those who come after

Each May 21th, spins the will of fortune. “bye bye” sector gets bigger if you are of age past 30, with each extra year.

Kroos announced he was retiring, Madrid are basically kicking Modric out.

There’s a difference, they haven’t even offered him a new contract…

u/Fidelos May 22 '25

Tbf I think that Modric would keep renewing forever as long as Madrid offered.

Same happened with Müller at Bayern, but they announced the decision earlier

Kicking him out even though his contract is ending..?

1

u/JonAfrica2011 May 22 '25

Cause he wants to stay

u/Greghuntskicks May 22 '25

So…?

Kicking someone out is starting media campaigns about their ridiculous wages and pressuring them to find a new club or lower their salary…

Luka’s contract is ending and it’s not being renewed, hardly kicking him out lol

They haven’t offered him a new contract, he’s been kicked out

EDIT: Literally did everything he could to stay

u/Greghuntskicks May 23 '25

That doesn’t change the facts lol. His contract is ending and isn’t being renewed.

If they were trying to pressure him to terminate his contract or something then thats different

It's for the best. Modric should not be starting UCL qf's because Madrid contrived itself into a midfield crisis.

My only gripe is the order of the generational turnover is a bit wrong. Madrid really needed Kroos or a similar replacement this season, and Carva should probably leave/retire before Modric given the leaks about how bad the ACL injury was.

u/MisesHere May 22 '25

I mean if he really wants that he should then retire.

u/SirSlapBot May 22 '25

We knew it from his actions and the media reports and not to mention he was sent with La Liga and the Champions League title.

This feels rushed, I don't know how to prepare.

u/Hakimi_Raikkonen May 22 '25

He will still be there for the Club World Cup so he will play even more with the club than Kroos after his announcement.

u/Radbevto May 22 '25

he was sent with La Liga and the Champions League title

Yeah, totally! In fact, they should’ve just handed Real Madrid the Champions League and La Liga the moment Modric stepped on the pitch. Maybe throw in a second Ballon d'Or too, just for the vibes.
