Fabrizio Romano makes contract extension claim for 4 Real Madrid heroes

Real Madrid are not overwhelmed by their potential treble-winning season. While the fans and the players have every right to celebrate, the Real Madrid higher-ups have their priorities straight.

After all, the key to succeeding as a club is to keep ahold of what (and in this case who) works best. Florentino Perez needs no reminding of this, as it has become a tradition for Real Madrid to extend their club legends' contracts by a further year in recent times.

There are a few club legends and recently-emerging heroes who will seek contract extensions for their own security. From Real Madrid's perspective, this is of utmost importance and must be sorted before the summer transfer window opens.

Fabrizio Romano makes contract extension claim for 4 Real Madrid heroes

Luckily for Real Madrid fans, Fabrizio Romano has provided an update on the contract situations of four Real Madrid players. He claims that Lucas Vazquez and Andriy Lunin contract situations are "two important topics for Real Madrid". Also, the contract negotiations to keep Luka Modric and Toni Kroos will be resolved soon, with players open to different outcomes.

Needless to say, Fabrizio Romano is one of the most reliable sources in the world. The Italian journalist has gained worldwide acclaim for being the first point of contact with breaking news such as this. Therefore, while every transfer story should be taken with a pinch of salt, this one is likely to have truth behind it.

Andriy Lunin has been shown interest by many clubs this season, which shouldn't come as a surprise given how he has stepped up to the mark for Real Madrid. Previously the backup goalkeeper, Lunin has been a standout performer for Real Madrid in the absence of Thibaut Courtois.

Lucas Vazquez is a Real Madrid legend and to this point, a fine example of a one-club man. Since 2015, Vazquez has been a valuable player to the Real Madrid squad and he has won four Champions League trophies and four La Liga titles.

Luka Modric has played for Real Madrid for an impressive 14 year tenure. He runs out of contract this summer, so his contract extension is of maximum importance. Ageing at 38 years old, he is still capable of playing at the highest level, as demonstrated in recent weeks.

Toni Kroos is more relaxed about his future. After all, he could still start for most European superclubs, so he will not be short of options. As one of the best midfielders in the world, though, Real Madrid should absolutely tie him down.
