Carlo Ancelotti believes Karim Benzema, Luka Modric and Toni Kroos will stay at Real Madrid next season, the Los Blancos coach told a news conference Friday.
The trio are out of contract at the end of the current season and Ancelotti confirmed Modric and Kroos are now speaking with the club about their futures.
Benzema joined Real Madrid from Lyon in 2009 and Modric arrived from Tottenham in 2012, the pair winning five Champions Leagues with Real Madrid among other trophies. Toni Kroos joined Madrid from Bayern Munich in 2014, winning the Champions League on four occasions with Los Blancos. Asked about Kroos and Modric, Ancelotti said he believed a “solution” would be found.

“There are advances, because they are talking,” said Ancelotti. “I think that in the end they will look for a solution, there are advances.” The coach also thought Benzema, who scored a hat-trick in the emphatic 4-0 win over Barcelona on Wednesday in the Copa del Rey semi-final, would stay. However, the Italian warned that at some point, Madrid would have to move on. “I think [the three] will stay,” said Ancelotti.
“But we have to think about the day they stop too, because, for the fact they have something unique, something will have to change.”
