Valverde and Eriksen threaten Modric

Time goes by irretrievably for everyone, even for a footballer who is the current Ballon d'Or winner. 

And it is that Luka Modric faces his most difficult season yet at Real Madrid and his future at the club is still very much up in the air.

Luka Modric, a key player in recent years, has a contract with the Madrid club, which runs out in June 2020.

At 34-years-old, Luka knows that the possibility of him keeping his starting role at Santiago Bernabeu is more than difficult, especially after recent events. 

This is not helped by the appearance of young Fede Valverde and the possible arrival of Christian Eriksen to the Spanish capital, are the two biggest threats to the Croatian.

Both are footballer's who are unsettled by their natural position and could force Modric to look for a way out.

However, the Croatian, unlike a year ago when he wanted to leave for Inter, seems to have decided to give it another shot and prove once again that he remains vital to his team.

The coming week, with Mallorca, Galatasaray and Barcelona as rivals, seems decisive for the future of the season of Madrid and a Modric who wants to be a key figure again.
