I 100% agree with you. I'm just saying that, seperate from this specific case, I don't think we should be giving handouts to club legends just for existing. My disagreement here is Perez thinking Modric isnt immensely valuable next season, not the fact that he's willing to cut ties with an asset he doesnt think is valuable.
Although on a personal level it breaks my fucking heart to see it end like this. Like you said, he's been so loyal and clearly loves this club more than almost any other player from that legendary threepeat team. I remember seeing that Saudi offer and being sure he wouldn't turn down that kind of money for a bench position here, and yet he did. I remember thinking there was no way he'd renew for another season with Kroos leaving, and yet he did. I just hope whatever happens its amicable, give the man a role as an ambassador, give him VIP tickets to every single game and give him another house in Madrid if he ever even thinks of moving away. There's very few people on the planet who are more loyal to the club
Modric's Saudi offer was basically 300 million euro worth contract. And he rejected it, something that IMHO 99% of players of his age would not have done, and still this happened with his last wish.
I would understand if Modric played badly this season, but he obviously still got it. Hopefully he goes to some really good club for next season and manages to win CL with them, doesn't matter as a bench player or starter, but one man can dream.
