Given their ages and the club’s future goals, Real Madrid superstars Toni Kroos and Luka Modric have gradually begun to be phased out as they enter what may be their final season with Los Blancos.

Kroos and Modric have obviously assumed a different role in the team with the spectacular growth of Madrid’s young core of Aurelien Tchouameni, Eduardo Camavinga, the remarkable newcomer Jude Bellingham, and the little older Federico Valverde.

Even if they haven’t played as frequently as of now, this season is still important for the two legendary midfielders.

Real Madrid hopes to make the departure of Kroos and Modric as painless as possible in order to herald in a new era. As a result, it is hoped that the seasoned duo will use this time to mentor and develop those who will succeed them.

Ancelotti still counts on Kroos and Modric

The Madrid manager is still depending on the two superstars on the field, but he is also thinking about their physical condition and using the chance to rest them while he can, according to sources from MARCA.

According to reports, Carlo Ancelotti addressed the two players with the utmost respect and clarity, emphasizing how the club wishes to gradually elevate the new generation.The Italian did, however, add that he will still count on Kroos and Modric to be there on the field and that they will get more consistent playing time once the Champions League begins and the squad has two games each week.

Kroos and Modric are still very important puzzle pieces, but the coach made it plain that they must now adapt to their shifting roles as they get older.
