Started 19 times in 38 matches this season by his coach Carlo Ancelotti, the Croatian midfielder nevertheless retains an undeniable status within the Madrid locker room, if we are to believe the information revealed by Marca. A favorable environment which would reinforce Modric’s desire to continue the adventure in Madrid.
Towards a one-year extension?
For its part, the club management has not yet started discussions with the player with a view to a possible contract extension.

He was also one of the great architects of the club’s last five Champions League titles between 2013 and 2022.
