A Prominent Source Identifies Two Players Who Are Currently Dissatisfied at Real Madrid

Unsettled Waters: Toni Kroos and Luka Modric’s Role Concerns at Real Madrid

Reports from Relevo’s Manuel Amor indicate that both Toni Kroos and Luka Modric are experiencing dissatisfaction with their current roles at Real Madrid. The veteran midfielders are no longer assured of starting every crucial game, a departure from the past where they held undisputed positions in the lineup. Carlo Ancelotti, the manager, now prefers to rotate these legendary figures.

In recent matches, this rotation has been evident. Against Union Berlin, Kroos found himself on the bench while Modric started, and in the game against Sociedad, the roles were reversed, with Kroos starting and Modric on the bench.

Modric, at the age of 37, has expressed his desire to play regularly at Real Madrid. During his time on international duty, the iconic midfielder stated, “I want to play; I signed the renewal when they told me that nothing would change in my status.”

On the other hand, Kroos has not made public comments like Modric, but insider sources suggest that he shares similar sentiments with his longtime midfield partner.

Ancelotti, however, remains unperturbed by these concerns and reassures that both players will have significant roles this season. “We were all in agreement and delighted when he [Modric] renewed, including him. I know perfectly well what he and Kroos can give me; I don’t need to test them. They will continue to be important,” said Ancelotti.

Nevertheless, the emergence of talents like Tchouameni, Bellingham, and Camavinga, who are in fine form, poses a challenge for Kroos and Modric to secure as many minutes as they would prefer. Additionally, competition from players such as Arda Guler, Brahim Diaz, and Dani Ceballos, all vying for playing time, further complicates the midfield picture at Real Madrid.
