Real Madrid superstar unhappy with current role in the team – report
Everything looks fine and dandy for Real Madrid as they have started the season with a comprehensive 2-0 win and boast a formidable squad, brimming with youth talent.
But there is a significant problem brewing under the surface at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Luka Modric unhappy at Real Madrid
According to a recent report from Mundo Deportivo, not everyone is happy with the structural change going on at Real Madrid at the moment.
It appears Luka Modric is currently unhappy with his role at the Bernabeu. Before the start of the season, the midfielder had penned a contract extension with the hopes of remaining a key component of the team.
However, Modric has hardly played a key role since. Even in pre-season, the Croat was not used much by coach Carlo Ancelotti.
The Italian mastermind has instead put his faith in young guns such as Aurelien Tchouameni, Federico Valverde, Eduardo Camavinga, and new signing Jude Bellingham.
January exit possible for Modric
Ancelotti’s team selection for the season opener against Athletic Club was the breaking point for Modric.
The Croatian international was left out on the bench alongside Toni Kroos as Real Madrid started with young players.
Modric was allowed to come on only for the final ten minutes of the game. It was a real blow for the veteran, who is now allegedly regretting his renewal at Bernabeu.
If the situation does not improve going forward, there is a possibility Modric could leave the Bernabeu in the winter transfer window.
Ancelotti, though, has recently assured both Kroos and Modric that their situation could change week by week, hinting that he might look for more rotations as the season progresses.

Real Madrid very happy with future star Endrick, eagerly awaiting his arrival in 2024 – Romano
Real Madrid’s attacking unit has been crippled by the loss of Karim Benzema earlier in the summer, which was followed by the loss of Vinicius Jr due to injury.
Although Vinicius has returned, there is much left to be desired from the Madrid frontline as we progress through to the season.
Real Madrid, though, are waiting on the arrival of Endrick. The young Brazilian is set to join the Real Madrid squad in the summer of 2024 when he turns 18.
Real Madrid impressed by Endrick
Endrick has already started his preparation for his pending move to Santiago Bernabeu, having performed exceptionally well in his native Brazil this year.
The youngster is constantly working on his game, in order to further improve himself as an attacker. It has left Real Madrid quite happy and eager for his arrival, reports Fabrizio Romano.
The journalist claims that Real Madrid have been keeping close tabs on everything Endrick has been doing, on and off the pitch, at Palmeiras.
And they have received very good reports on the 17-year-old, with the club impressed by how he is putting efforts to improve himself both performance-wise and in other facets.
Despite there being some question marks over his performances, the teenage forward is starting to showcase his potential, having scored five goals in five starts for Palmeiras.
Endrick also learning new languages
Endrick is not only just working on his performance. In fact, the Brazilian is also learning other languages in order to quickly settle into life in Spain.
The youngster can speak Portuguese, but he may have to master Spanish during his time at Santiago Bernabeu.
As mentioned earlier, Endrick can already speak Portuguese, which should go a long way in helping him team up with fellow Brazilians Vinicius Jr and Rodrygo.
Even Eder Militao can speak Portuguese, which should make it easier for Endrick to adapt to life in Spain, at least for the next year or so.

That would be selfishness on the part of Modric. His time is fast passing and should understand that. He could leave in January.
