In the past three months, Real Madrid have ensured the continuity of up to eight key squad pieces following renewals of several of their members, most of them long-term with the exception of Croatian Luka Modric, 35. , which was for a season.
The midfielder, Ballon d’Or in 2018, ended his contract on June 30 and after a successful campaign, he won the renewal of another, resulting in a 10% pay cut.
