Real Madrid star edging closer to exit door as lack of playing time problem re-surfaces

Introduction to this article: The uncertain future of Luka Modric at Real Madrid

Luka Modric’s Tough Season

This season has been one of the toughest for Luka Modric at Real Madrid since he joined in 2012. The 38-year-old has found himself relegated to a bench role by Carlo Ancelotti, with several other midfielders ahead of him in the pecking order.

Frustration and Lack of Playing Time

Modric has expressed frustration at his lack of playing time this season. Despite a brief period of regular playing time when other midfielders were injured, he has found himself back on the bench in recent matches, even failing to get any minutes in some games.

Possible Departure

There are growing indications that this could be Modric’s last season at Real Madrid. With his contract set to expire in the summer and his situation at the club showing no signs of improving, it is increasingly unlikely that the two parties will come to terms on a renewal. There is even speculation that he could leave before the winter transfer window closes, with interest from clubs in Saudi Arabia. However, it is more probable that he will stay at Real Madrid until the summer.
