Real Madrid are yet to make an official announcement regarding their four captains for the upcoming 2024/2025 season.
Following the departure of the club's primary captain Nacho Fernandez, Luka Modric is set to become Los Blancos' captain for the new season.
The selection of captains at Santiago Bernabeu is strictly based on seniority within the club. As the longest-serving player, the Croatian international has been entrusted with the armband.
Who will be Real Madrid’s vice-captain?
Dani Carvajal will step up as vice-captain, having frequently worn the armband last season due to his regular starts. He is expected to do so again with Modrić no longer a consistent starter.
The Spain international's time as captain was briefly cut in when he departed for Bayer Leverkusen on a permanent transfer, although the La Liga giants retained a buyback option and eventually the player came back to Spain.
Despite the defender being an academy product who developed at Valdebebas, he ranks below the Croatian maestro in the captaincy hierarchy.
Moreover, since Toni Kroos has retired from football, Lucas Vázquez, who joined the club in 2015, will become the third captain. For the fourth captain, the club and locker room have chosen Fede Valverde.
