Real Madrid have outlined their priorities for this summer, which include Kylian Mbappe and Alphonso Davies, but there are one or two ends to be tied up. Los Blancos are still unsure if veterans Toni Kroos and Luka Modric will be there next season, and should make calls on Nacho Fernandez and Lucas Vazquez.
The recent current has pointed towards three of the four renewals, with Modric being the only one who could leave. The Croatian teacher has seen his role reduced this season, and Fabrizio Romano said Caught offside that the club will not try to influence his decision.
“Luka Modric and Toni Kroos are two of the best players in the world and they have earned the right to decide what they want to do in terms of staying at Real Madrid or not,” he explained. The Daily Briefing.
“Carlo Ancelotti said he believes players should retire when they're still at the top, but it's up to Kroos and Modric now – Real Madrid are just waiting for their decision.”
The most recent development has been that Real Madrid are moving towards another extension for Lucas Vazquez to the right, but Romano says they will always make a move if they see a deal they like.
“Apart from Kroos and Modric, there is the potential left-back situation with Alphonso Davies as discussed, and we'll see if a new right-back could also be an issue, based on opportunities.”
In recent months, Girona right-back Yan Couto, who has a year left on his deal with parent club Manchester City, and Sevilla youngster Juanlu Sanchez have been linked as potential replacements for Vazquez, and long-term options go for success to Dani Carvajal. Vazquez has shown in recent weeks that he continues to hold the nerve for big games.
