Defensa Central has reported that Kylian Mbappe, who is certain to join Real Madrid at the end of the season, is overjoyed with the news that Luka Modric, a key player for Real Madrid over the past decade, will stay for another season.
Within the Real Madrid offices, preparations have been underway for weeks to shape the team for next season. They are not only finalizing negotiations with Mbappe but are also considering extending contracts for seasoned players like Modric and Toni Kroos.
Regarding Mbappe, he recently informed the fans that he will leave PSG and France at the end of this season. This announcement wasn’t a surprise since he had already told the club months ago that he would not renew his contract.
Mbappe happy with progress at Real Madrid
It is said that Mbappe is thrilled, regardless of the number he will wear for Real Madrid. He is getting ready to move to the Spanish capital and has just learned that both Modric and Kroos will stay with the team for another year.
This unexpected news has made the young star from Bondy very happy.
According to sources close to Mbappe, he said, “It is great news to be able to share a dressing room with a legend like Modric.”
He knows that playing alongside experienced players like Modric and Kroos will benefit both his own performance and the team’s overall success.
Real Madrid have two games left in the league and their focus is now on the UEFA Champions League final against Borussia Dortmund on June 1 at Wembley. Until then, the club won’t make any official announcements.
However, it is widely expected that Mbappe will join the team and that Modric and Kroos will renew their contracts.
The veterans are crucial players for Real Madrid, having played significant roles over the last decade and Mbappe’s arrival will only alleviate the team’s overall performance next season.
