Luka Modric and Toni Kroos, two Real Madrid midfielders, are expected to depart the team this summer, according to reports.

The two dynamic players, who have been integral to Real Madrid’s success in recent years, are nearing the end of their contracts, and although they are still the league’s and Europe’s best team, it is expected that they will leave the champions. Despite the sadness of the situation, reports state that it is essential to guarantee the club’s upward trajectory moving forward.

ACCORDING TO THE REPORTSIt’s more likely that Modric and Kroos will leave Madrid this summer than stay, according to Cadena SER. The Spanish powerhouses made a big decision in allowing the veterans to go because it will be difficult for them to replace such important players in the locker room, even though it is thought that Modric should stay.

Even though Modric and Kroos are club icons, they will ultimately move on, so it could be best to retire while they are still at the top.

UP NEXT FOR KROOS AND MODRIC?

The German and Croatian internationals will want to participate in the Champions League final at Wembley on June 1st before even thinking about their future move. They have the chance to capture a record 15 titles when they take on Borussia Dortmund. It would be the ideal way to end their illustrious tale at Madrid if they could win the game.
