5 Candidates for Substitute Luka Modric at Real Madrid

Together with Luka Modric with Real Madrid seems to have entered the final round. The player is now 33 years old.

The Croatian midfielder has been fantastic for Los Blancos since coming to the club in 2012. However, Modric's quality has seen a decline since the 2018/19 season.

Modric still performs regularly for Madrid this season. However, its performance is certainly not the same as in its heyday.

Modric is a very important player under the tutelage of Carlo Ancelotti, Rafael Benitez, Zinedine Zidane and other managers, The quality in midfield is unquestionable.

The Ballon d'Or contract with Madrid will be at the end of the season. Therefore, Los Blancos must immediately find a replacement for the former Tottenham player.

Here are five candidates for successor to Luka Modric at Real Madrid.

Federico Valverde.

Federico Valverde got a lot under Zinedine Zidane this season. He has established himself as a prime candidate as a substitute for Luka Modric.

Every time he plays, Valverde takes the Modric role and does a fantastic job. He defended as well as attacked.

Valverde only needs to show his appearance consistently. Thus, the 21-year-old can help his club get a free Modric replacement.

Dani Ceballos

Dani Ceballos is currently on loan at Arsenal. The Spanish international seemed to enjoy his time at the Emirates Stadium.

Even though Arsenal are currently rotten, Ceballos does a very good job there. The 23-year-old midfielder performed brilliantly in his inaugural season with Arsenal.

Although Ceballos said that he did not want to return to Madrid, the club had a final decision regarding his fate. If you return to the Santiago Bernabeu, Los Blancos will have an interesting player in his squad.

Martin Odegaard

 
Martin Odegaard was recruited by Real Madrid at the age of 16. He was initially considered a failure, but Odegaard proved his quality when loaned to another club.

The Norwegian midfielder is currently on loan at Real Sociedad. He has been one of the best players in La Liga so far this season.

Odegaard has scored three goals and four assists in 13 La Liga appearances for Sociedad. The player can certainly be a substitute for Modric if given the opportunity by Los Blancos.

Paul Pogba

Pogba is reportedly unhappy at Manchester United. He could not show his best performance while strengthening the Red Devils.

Pogba is reported to want to leave Old Trafford. Juventus and Real Madrid have been reported to be interested in using their services for the past few months.

The Frenchman is the type of player who can attack and defend just as well. He would certainly be an extraordinary addition to Zinedine Zidane's troops.

Christian Eriksen

Christian Eriksen is a brilliant midfielder. He is arguably the best substitute for Luka Modric at Real Madrid.

The Danish international has a style of play that is very similar to the Croatian player. Eriksen is also very deadly from a set piece situation.

Eriksen's contract with Tottenham Hotspur will expire next summer. Because of this, he can join Real Madrid for free.
