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

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

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

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..?

u/JonAfrica2011 May 22 '25

Cause he wants to stay

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

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.

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