Are they staying in Spain? Real Madrid seeks to extend the contracts of five players.

Despite the fact that this season is unlikely to win LaLiga Santander, Real Madrid is in the Copa del Rey final and still in the race in the Champions League. The results have led the Madrid board to extend the contracts of five players on the team. Toni Kroos, Luka Modric, Nacho, Marco Asensio, and Dani Ceballos would be free on June 30, so the topic is already being discussed at the Santiago Bernabéu.

According to Spanish media, the two players closest to renewing their contracts are Kroos and Asensio. There were rumors of a possible retirement of the former Bayern Munich player; however, he has decided to stay after seeing that he remains key in the 'Galáctico' team. On the other hand, the 27-year-old Spaniard also wants to continue in the club of his dreams.

The Croatian all-rounder is another player who wants to stay at Real Madrid, but he has not yet received the corresponding offer. According to the press, the board has assured him that in the coming days they will offer him an extension of his contract for one more season, as he is considered a club legend.

Finally, but not least, the two players whose renewal is unclear are Nacho and Ceballos. Both have the decision to continue or not in the most Champions League-winning club, waiting to have more prominence.

Real Madrid vs. Chelsea in the Champions League

This Tuesday, April 18, Real Madrid will visit Chelsea for the second leg of the Champions League quarterfinals. The match is scheduled to start at 2:00 p.m. (Peru, Ecuador, and Colombia time), and will be broadcasted on ESPN, STAR Plus, HBO Max, Movistar, Fox Sports, and Fútbol Libre TV.

It is worth mentioning that the first leg ended 2-0 in favor of the Madrid team. The goals were scored by Karim Benzema and Marco Asensio. Although it is an important advantage, Ancelotti's team must be cautious because last year they almost suffered a comeback against the 'blues', also in the Champions League. Undoubtedly, it is the match of the day.
