Following Real Madrid’s decision to part ways with Luka Modric, reports reveal that the Spanish club has a strategic plan centered around young talent Arda Guler.
The 13-year era of Luka Modric at Real Madrid has come to an end. The club chose not to renew the contract of the 39-year-old Croatian star, and the reasons behind this historic decision are gradually emerging.
According to the Spanish newspaper AS, Real Madrid’s management believes that keeping the experienced number 10 could slow down the development of young midfielders who are expected to take on leadership roles.
The decision to move on from Modric is part of a broader strategy to support the growth of 20-year-old Arda Guler.
The club feels that Arda Guler’s 1,683 minutes played this season have not yet been sufficient for him to make the expected breakthrough. Real Madrid aims to further develop Arda Guler and transform the young Turkish midfielder into a creative playmaker.
While the plan to “turn Arda Guler into the next Modric” may sound risky, Real Madrid remains confident in their long-term vision.
This season, Arda Guler has appeared in 41 matches for Real Madrid, scoring 5 goals and providing 9 assists, highlighting his growing impact on the team.
