With Toni Kroos leaving a bit younger than him, rumors also hinted at Luka Modric departing from Real Madrid at the end of the season. However, that’s far from reality.
Indeed, Luka Modric had the freedom to decide on an extension or departure. Unsurprisingly, he opted for continuity.
Thus, Fabrizio Romano reports this Wednesday, June 5, 2024, that Luka Modric and Real Madrid have reached an agreement.
The 38-year-old midfielder has already signed all the documents for his extension. He has penned a one-year contract extension, binding him to the Merengues until June 2025.
Official confirmation is all that’s left, which shouldn’t be long in coming. However, it’s hard to imagine “Lukita” going any further with the Merengues beyond the 2024-25 season.
Space will be made for a new generation already well-equipped. Especially, Kylian Mbappé awaits his departure to claim the number 10. Luka Modric looks towards Euro 2024
At almost 39 years old, Luka Modric has given himself another chance to return home with a trophy: Euro 2024 will likely be the swan song for the indispensable Croatian playmaker, who made his debut eighteen years ago under the national flag.
The Real Madrid midfielder, who arrived in 2012, has won the Champions League six times with the Spanish club – the sixth one on Saturday against Borussia Dortmund (2-0) – but he dreams above all of bringing victory to his country in a major tournament.
The checkered team, of which he has been the pillar for years, has narrowly missed out in recent times: runner-up at the 2018 World Cup, they finished third at the 2022 World Cup.
Last year, the Croats were defeated by Spain in the Nations League final. Many regrets for the “little prince of Zadar.”
