Florentino Pérez is aware that he will go on the market with everything next summer, but that will also involve some very painful departures. This is despite the fact that players like it Fede Valverde or Luka Modric They are fundamental to the current squad and changes are already evident this year.
For several seasons now, the Uruguayan footballer has proven to be one of the players who has developed the most in his football. until he was considered an important man for Carlo Ancelotti.
This is countered by the increasingly rare participation of Luka Modric in the Merengue team, a footballer who could leave due to age as his contract only runs for this season. He sounded strong about going to Saudi Arabia, but he chose to stay.
Now, as the season reaches its fifth matchday in the league, the feeling has taken hold at the Bernabéu that Modric is increasingly losing importance in favor of younger players.
But here comes the situation that Modric will not leave any money in cash after his departure, partly because He will leave as a free agent when he leaves permanently in 2024. Therefore, Valverde’s put option becomes more important.
Madrid can make a lot of money with the Uruguayan, but obviously he would be losing one of the most important players in recent years. Although Fede has a great poster, the club’s idea is to keep him unless there is an offer and the player wants to leave, which seems very difficult, almost impossible.
Rubén Martín, journalist of the Cadena COPE said of the Uruguayan international: “The departure of Fede Valverde, for example, would hurt Real Madrid more as Modrics. “Luka had many offers from Saudi Arabia in the summer, but he decided to stay,” explained the journalist.
