Real Madrid is considering renewing both Magic Flute & Kroos for the first time this season, and believes they still have gas left in the tank.【fangjie】

Real Madrid are reportedly considering extending the contracts of Kroos and Modric. Both players' contracts are set to expire on June 30 this year, and this is the first time this season that Real Madrid are considering extending their stay at the club beyond the end of the season.

It has been assumed since last summer that at least one of these two players will leave at the end of the season. This will also help the team to reduce the wage bill, as they are also the highest paid players in the squad. Initially, Modric was the main candidate to leave, he will turn 39 in September and has seen his playing time in the team reduced this season. This initially worried him at the start of the season, as when his contract was renewed last June, he was told that his role, and playing time, would not change. And indeed, the Croatian has only played 2,140 minutes this season, which is 13th in the team, during which time he has contributed two goals and eight assists. But regardless, the 2018 Ballon d'Or winner's preference remains to stay at Real Madrid. Despite reports from Spain claiming that Modric and Real Madrid have agreed on a departure, TA has learned that Modric has yet to reach an agreement with the club in some way. This was also confirmed by his agent over the weekend. On top of that, for the other midfielder, Kroos, Real Madrid are willing to let him stay at the club as long as he is feeling well both physically and mentally. The 34-year-old German midfielder, who is set to return for this summer's Europa League in his homeland after retiring from the national team three years ago, has already played 3,007 minutes for Real Madrid this season (the sixth-longest in the team), scoring one goal and dishing out nine assists. Due to Real Madrid's success this season in winning La Liga, reaching the Champions League final, and impressive individual performances, the club is taking a fresh look at the future of both players. Head coach Carlo Ancelotti wants both Kroos and Modric to stay. He believes they have done a great job and values the competitiveness they have shown and the culture that their team conveys to their teammates on a daily basis. The outcome of both players' contract extensions will be known in the coming weeks.
