The 39 -year -old is the oldest player in the history of Real Madrid and his oldest scorer. The Croatian legend seemed to be about to leave the club last summer after finally giving up his role as a holder, but finally decided to accept a more secondary role in the success of the club. At the end of the season, it was Toni Kroos and not Modric who said goodbye.
Modric, for his part, wishes to continue next season with Real Madrid, report Marca and Révo. He thinks he still has his legs and the quality to continue playing Santiago Bernabeu until his 40th anniversary. Modric also has the 2026 World Cup with Croatia, and he wants to get there as Real Madrid player.
Luka Modric's future is uncertain
The last of the two media reveals that the club has not yet found the best solution. Real Madrid will not start negotiations with Modric before the end of the season, as is often the case, and will only discuss an extension of one year. Modric, for his part, ended up proposing to reduce his salary last year in order to continue playing in the Spanish capital, a gesture that was essential for its continuity. The Real Madrid hierarchy always wonders if it would not be better to entrust its opportunities to a younger player.
Modric's teammates continue to be seduced by its quality and contribution. This season, he played 1,789 minutes in 39 games, scoring four goals and delivering six assists. His goal against Valencia was certainly crucial for the Whiteos in January, and even if the relay went to the young leaders of the Real Madrid locker room, his voice will probably miss Carlo Ancelotti.
