Ancelotti Acknowledges Unfair Treatment of Luka Modric, Hinting at Potential Exit

Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has admitted to being unfair with club legend Luka Modric regarding his playing time this season. The Croatian midfielder, who signed a one-year extension to stay at Santiago Bernabeu, has seen reduced minutes as a new generation of midfielders, including Federico Valverde, Eduardo Camavinga, Jude Bellingham, Toni Kroos, and Aurelien Tchouameni, have taken precedence in the team.

In a statement shared by Fabrizio Romano, Ancelotti expressed regret, saying, “Luka Modrić should have started today; I’ve been unfair.” While Modric’s reduced role suggests he may not be part of Real Madrid’s long-term vision, his age, 38, is a contributing factor. Modric’s exceptional quality and professionalism have allowed him to remain a starter for Real Madrid deep into his career.

As Ancelotti hints at potential unfair treatment, it raises speculation about Modric’s future at the club. With his contract set to expire at the end of the season, fans may witness fewer appearances from the Croatian maestro in the Royal White jersey.
