Real Madrid Veteran Set to Stay at Club Following Request From Incoming Boss Xabi Alonso: Reports

Real Madrid prepares for its final 2024-25 season game against Real Sociedad at Santiago Bernabeu, marking Carlo Ancelotti's farewell.
The club initially planned not to renew Luka Modric’s contract as he will turn 40 in September and has a reduced role under Ancelotti.
Incoming manager Xabi Alonso, a former Real Madrid and Spurs midfielder, has requested the club to extend Modric’s contract for the 2025-26 season.
Modric has started 25 matches this season, appeared 55 times overall, and is willing to take a wage cut, showing commitment to continue playing and aiming for the 2026 World Cup.
If Modric stays, Real Madrid may forgo signing another midfielder, allowing Alonso to rely on his experience while balancing youth integration amid a squad transition.
