reported on May 24 that Modric's departure opened the door for Nico Pas to return to Real Madrid.

Modric's departure is an irreplaceable loss for Real Madrid. There is another era that ends with him, the ceremonial midfielder dynasty he created with Casemiro and Kroos. Real Madrid is preparing for the future in the renewal. In the past three years, Camavenga, Joan Ammeni, Bellingham and Guerre have been introduced, but now only the French and the English are firmly in the main force.

After missing Cross for the first time in the midfield this season, the team exposed shortcomings in lineup depth and stability. The locker room injury wave and the frequent withdrawal of Joan Améni's defense have made the midfield rounds difficult, and Modric has once again become the key man. The Croatian played 2,715 minutes this season, an increase of 505 minutes from the previous season.

The new opportunity to fill the vacancy in the midfield opens the door for Nico Pas' return. The 20-year-old is good at attacking, but he has shown his versatility in Como. Coach Fabregas uses it as a midfielder or a midfielder, and the club praises his performance. Xiao Fa's recent statement confirmed Pas' growth. He said: "Real Madrid can buy back, but if we give up the priority, we will never release people below 40 million to 50 million euros."

Galaxy Battleships do not need to pay a high price for Pas. According to the agreement finalized when leaving the team, Real Madrid not only retains 50% ownership, but also sets a stepped repurchase clause. This summer, the club only needs 8 million euros to recall him, next year, and 9 million euros, and 10 million euros in 2027.

The time is ripe now. Although Real Madrid's focus on the defense this summer is on the defense line, they have finalized 58 million euros Wyson, Arnold, who is about to be free of signing, and the first choice of A-fee for left-backs is also required to have huge funds, but the defense crisis exposed in the season has repeatedly dragged down the already poor midfielder. The ideal midfielder next season will be composed of Joan Améni, Valverde, Camavenga (all of whom have played guest defenders this season) and Bellingham. After Modric left the team, only Sebaslos and Guerre were left as rotations, which paved the way for Nico Pas' return.
