Real Madrid will play in the Club World Cup next summer, which will be the first edition with 32 teams competing in the United States. The tournament starts on June 15 and runs until July 13.
However, the tournament creates a contract issue for some players. Luka Modric, Lucas Vazquez, and Jesus Vallejo’s contracts end on June 30. To play the entire competition, Real Madrid will need to renew their contracts.
If the club does not extend their deals, the players could leave as of July 1, just before the tournament finishes.
This will be a crucial decision for Real Madrid as they prepare for the new format of the competition.
