Reports have emerged that this might be the last season of Luka Modric and Lucas Vasquez at Real Madrid and the club will not be renewing their contracts for another year.
Modric had earlier expressed his feelings on the contract situation
Modric had earlier expressed his feelings on the contract situation and how he would love to be a part of the club for another year. The 39 year old has already established his legendary status in football and the golden walls of Santiago Bernabeu and has continued to age like a fine wine but this might be the end of the story that has been inspiring for all.
Modric was voted as the worst signing of the decade when he arrived from Tottenham to Los Blancos and was mocked by the Spanish fans. Jose Mourinho, manager of that time, had commented that given Modric time, Real Madrid will fall in love with him.
The words have never been more true as every Madridista loves Luka to the core and it will be an emotional affair if he has to leave the club.

Modric was hopeful for another extension as this season he had played more football than last season and he has been pivotal in many matches.
Real Madrid still lack the quality that Luka Modric provides from the midfield and still do not have a tactician that can play from the middle of the pitch.
This could also mean that Madrid will be looking for a midfielder who can replace the quality of Modric.

Lucas Vasquez is also at the last few months of the contract
Alongside Luka, Lucas Vasquez is also at the last few months of the contract and most probably he will also leave after this season.
He is a Castilla product and has been at the club for more than 15 years and is set to say his final goodbyes to the Madrid fans.
The club is set to award both the players a contract that will see them play the Club World Cup after the Spanish league ends but there won’t be any longer contracts as their time is set to be over at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Of the pair, Vazquez’s summer departure is seen as most likely. Madrid are banking on signing Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold on a free transfer, which will send Vazquez tumbling down the pecking order.
