Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti refuses to discuss Luka Modric future

Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has distanced himself from Luka Modric’s contract situation, stating that it is a matter between the club and the player.

Modric, 39, remains a key figure, recently proving his quality against Girona. While Real Madrid typically offers one-year extensions to players over 30, Modric is reportedly eager to continue.

Ancelotti also addressed comments on young talent Raul Asencio, clarifying that the club has focused on his tactical development rather than technical skills.

Asencio has impressed, particularly against Manchester City, but may return to the bench with David Alaba’s recovery.

Ancelotti defended his handling of young players amid criticism, emphasizing that development is a process.

The coach’s comments highlight Madrid’s balancing act between experienced stars and emerging talents.
