Real Madrid seems to be on a smooth trajectory, commencing the season with an impressive 2-0 victory and showcasing a formidable squad filled with burgeoning youthful talent.

However, beneath the surface at Santiago Bernabeu, a notable predicament is emerging.

Luka Modric’s Discontent at Real Madrid

In line with a recent update from Mundo Deportivo, not everyone is content with the ongoing structural adjustments at Real Madrid.

It appears that Luka Modric is presently dissatisfied with his role at Bernabeu. Prior to the season’s commencement, the midfielder had committed to a contract extension, aiming to retain a pivotal position within the team.

Yet, Modric has scarcely occupied a significant role thus far. Even during the preseason, the Croatian player found limited usage under the guidance of coach Carlo Ancelotti.

The skilled Italian tactician has chosen to invest his faith in rising talents such as Aurelien Tchouameni, Federico Valverde, Eduardo Camavinga, and the newly-acquired Jude Bellingham.

Concerns Arise for a Possible January Departure for Modric

Ancelotti’s selection for the season’s opening match against Athletic Club marked a turning point for Modric.

The Croatian international was relegated to the bench alongside Toni Kroos, as Real Madrid embarked on the match with young talents.

Modric was afforded a mere ten minutes on the field towards the end of the game. This proved to be a significant setback for the veteran player, who reportedly now regrets his contract renewal at Bernabeu.

Should the situation fail to improve in the coming period, there exists a likelihood that Modric might seek an exit from Bernabeu during the winter transfer window.

Ancelotti, however, recently assured both Kroos and Modric that their circumstances could evolve week by week, hinting at potential rotations as the season progresses.

Kylian Mbappe’s Potential Move to Real Madrid Slows Down

Amidst the slowdown in Kylian Mbappe’s prospective move to Real Madrid, with indications that the Frenchman may continue with Paris Saint-Germain, the upcoming months are anticipated to play a pivotal role in determining his future beyond the 2023/24 season.

Although a more congenial rapport appears to have been established between Mbappe and PSG, uncertainties persist regarding his tenure beyond 2024.

Mbappe’s Contract Renewal Unlikely

A recent report from L’Equipe suggests that while relations between Mbappe and PSG remain intact, there is scant evidence to support the notion that the World Cup-winning player will extend his contract with the Parisian club.

The French publication implies that the current agreement between player and club merely safeguards PSG’s financial interests should Mbappe’s departure materialize.

Nevertheless, club president Nasser Al-Khelaifi is resolute in his ambition to sway Mbappe’s decision throughout the course of the 2023/24 campaign.

As Mbappe reintegrates into the team dynamics, the quality of his performances during the season remains uncertain.

Should he flourish under the guidance of Luis Enrique, potentially culminating in securing European accolades, Mbappe could potentially be swayed.

This prospect, coupled with a substantial financial proposal expected from PSG to entice him, will significantly influence the ongoing saga.

Presently, indications are that Mbappe may be willing to forgo up to 150 million euros in bonuses, a gesture that could lessen the blow to PSG and enable a smoother departure.

However, history cautions that simplicity is seldom a hallmark of transfer sagas.
