Real Madrid icon unhappy with current role, wants to turn things around

Real Madrid have enjoyed a splendid start to the new season, thanks to three back-to-back wins in La Liga. But not everyone is happy with the current scenario.

Luka Modric, for one, finds himself in a precarious position, as the veteran is yet to even start a single game for Real Madrid so far this season.

This is almost unthinkable for any Real Madrid fan, especially considering the fact that Modric has been fully fit.

Modric unhappy with current role

According to Sergio Santos, Modric is unsurprisingly not too happy with his current situation at Real Madrid.

Although it was very expected that the midfielder’s role in the first team would be diluted somewhat, the player perhaps did not imagine he would fall so far behind in the pecking order.

Indeed, Carlo Ancelotti has put his faith in young talents like Jude Bellingham, Federico Valverde, Aurelien Tchouameni, and Eduardo Camavinga, as the club look to complete the transition in the midfield department.

This has led to Modric featuring in only 56 minutes of league action so far this season, leading to speculations that the player may even consider leaving the club in January.

Modric wants to fight for his role

Modric, though, is not willing to pack up his bags and leave Real Madrid because of his current role in the squad.

As per the report from Sergio Santos, the former Tottenham superstar wants to fight for his place in the first team.

The midfielder continues to provide his experience and knowledge of the game down to the new players. But he will fight ever so harder during training sessions to convince Ancelotti.

Modric should not have a dearth of opportunities either, especially as Real Madrid look to kickstart their Champions League campaign in the coming month.
