Real Madrid might have to make huge sacrifice to sign highly rated La Liga midfielder | OneFootball

According to Real Madrid Confidencial, it has come to light that Real Madrid may face a difficult decision next summer as they consider making changes to their midfield, with the potential signing of Martin Zubimendi from Real Sociedad.

The 25-year-old midfielder has been gaining attention as one of Spain’s most promising talents and has long been linked with a move to the Santiago Bernabeu.

However, this move could have serious consequences for one of the club’s most beloved players, Luka Modric.

One needs to go

Modric, at 39 years old, has been a key figure at Real Madrid for over a decade. His contributions to the team’s success, including multiple Champions League titles, have cemented his place as a club legend.

However, as age begins to catch up with him, it could be difficult for Modric and Zubimendi to coexist in the same midfield, especially given that they both play in similar roles. This could lead to the club making a tough decision regarding Modric’s future.

It’s reported that the club’s management may choose not to renew Modric’s contract, allowing the Croatian star to leave.

While this may be an emotional blow, some believe this decision might be necessary to ensure the club’s future success. Bringing in younger talent like Zubimendi could be the key to revitalizing the midfield and building for the long-term future.

Zubimendi, with a release clause of €60 million, is a player who could significantly improve Real Madrid’s midfield. His technical skills and defensive abilities have made him stand out as one of the top talents in Spain.

For Modric, the time may have come to step aside, allowing Zubimendi to take on a more prominent role in the team.

Although his departure would be difficult for fans to accept, it could ultimately benefit the squad by providing a younger player with the opportunity to become the midfield anchor for many years.
