The Croatian will continue for another year but Real Madrid, thinking about the future, has the perfect player to carry the 10 on their back
After the signing of Jude Bellingham, Florentino Perez has focused on strategic renewals for the real Madrid as is the case of Modric. The continuation of the Croatian is explained with a huge signing that Florentino is preparing in 2024. And no, we are not talking about Kylian Mbappé. It’s a sideline operation.
In fact, the white team has reserved the ‘9’ for Mbappé with the hope that the operation can be completed this summer. However, he is not the only number that the white team has reserved. And it is that Florentino Pérez has the number ’10’ of Modric reserved for the galactic future of Real Madrid.
Modric’s 10 has an owner at Real Madrid 2024
As we have been able to know, Mbappé is not the only big star who is on Real Madrid’s radar. Also noteworthy is the name of Jamal Musiala, a 20-year-old German footballer who plays for Bayern Munich, where he has shone in recent seasons. So much so that he is the favorite for the Golden Boy ahead of Jude Bellingham himself.
Definitely, Jamal Musiala is one of the most promising footballers in the world and, if nothing goes wrong, it will be one of the five best footballers in just a few years. However, it will not be easy to gain the services of a player who, at barely 20 years old, already has more than twenty international caps with the German National Team.
Star replacement for Modric
As we know, Modric will continue for another year in the team but everything indicates that in 2024 he will end his time at Real Madrid. In this way, the number ’10’ that he has been wearing for years will be released. And in a team of the size of the white team, it does not seem that this number is going to be free. That is why he is looking for a successor.
In the current squad, youngsters like Vinicius Jr, Rodrygo and Jude Bellingham already have an assigned number. Thus, among the possibilities on the market, Musiala seems to be the best option. Yes indeed, Florentino Pérez knows that he is facing a very difficult challenge to incorporate him into Real Madrid. And it is that he has a contract until 2026 and his market value is above 100 million.
