Perez regrets almost causing his departure from Real Madrid, now he has changed his mind and is preparing to renew his contract

One of Real Madrid’s key players remains important to the team, expressing contentment despite a lesser role this season. Ancelotti depends on him for ball control, though his significance has diminished compared to previous years.

Last summer, the player nearly departed from Real Madrid due to the club’s lack of reliance on him for the upcoming season. However, he chose to stay, and with Toni Kroos’s exit and his own desire to continue, the club’s stance shifted, allowing him the chance to extend his contract for another year.

According to the Spanish newspaper Defensa Central, Modric has excelled this season, becoming one of the team’s standout players, which has been recognized by both the coaching staff and management. The report also mentioned that Pérez regrets nearly allowing the Croatian to leave last summer, but now, given his impressive performances, there are no objections to renewing his contract at the end of the season, provided he maintains his form.

The player has experienced a change in his circumstances, particularly in October, and it will be interesting to see how long this form continues, especially considering he is 39 years old; age inevitably affects even the fittest athletes.

Luka Modric needs to manage his playing time carefully, especially since he travels to Croatia during international breaks and participates in nearly every match. He cannot expect to maintain a regular spot at Real Madrid given this demanding schedule.

Fortunately, his mindset has shifted considerably. After coming to terms with his secondary role, he has found it easier to cope. Initially, he struggled with the idea of being substituted.
