The end of an era? Luka Modric and Toni Kroos expected to leave Real Madrid despite La Liga title success and Champions League final spot

Real Madrid

The dynamic duo - who have been crucial to Madrid's success in recent years - are both in the final few months of their contract and the<a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/will-luka-modric-stay-at-real-madrid-agent-reveals-decision/bltc9b864d9d5964f5c" target="_blank"> expectation is that they will move on from the La Liga champions</a> despite their continued dominance in the league and Europe. Reports say despite it being a sad moment, it is necessary to ensure the continued upward trajectory of the club.

WHAT HAPPENED?

According to <a href="https://cadenaser.com/nacional/2024/05/13/es-un-momento-muy-importante-en-la-historia-del-real-madrid-las-reacciones-al-futuro-de-kroos-y-modric-en-el-conjunto-blanco-cadena-ser/" target="_blank">Cadena SER</a>, Kroos and Modric are more likely to leave Madrid this summer than stay. The decision to let the veterans leave is a significant one for the Spanish giants as they will have a hard time replacing such key figures in the dressing room, while fans are believed to want Modric to stay.

WHAT THE REPORTS SAID

Madrid have a new generation of midfield talent in Jude Bellingham and Eduardo Camavinga and they have quickly become part of the furniture at the Santiago Bernabeu. Despite their status as club legends <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/chelsea-told-why-must-sign-luka-modric-toni-kroos/blt8a35b453ede84362" target="_blank">Modric and Kroos have to move on eventually</a> and it may be better to go out while they are on top.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Before they even consider their next moves, the Croatian and German internationals will want to play their part in the Champions League final at Wembley on 1 June. They face Borussia Dortmund and the opportunity to win a record 15th title. If they can win the match, it would be the perfect closing chapter in their legendary story at Madrid.

WHAT NEXT FOR MODRIC AND KROOS?
