Luka Modric did everything he could to convince Real Madrid to let him stay: He offered to lower his salary, He accepted a bench role, He let the club take their time and make a decision when they want. The club, in the end, decided not to offer him a new deal. He waited until the end for Madrid.

That's kinda sad. After everything he achieved with the club they just force him out? Why not give him a 1 year extension on a lower salary and put him on the bench? He's probably not going to play much more than 1 more season anyway.

What about no salary? He made millions all these years, don't be fool.
