Luka Modric is very close to sealing his continuity at Real Madrid for one more season. The Croatian midfielder, who will turn 40 in September, intends to retire dressed in white, and everything indicates that he will achieve it. Although his role in the team has significantly diminished this season, the player has shown that he remains useful for Carlo Ancelotti, especially in key moments where experience is crucial.
Speculation about his future has been ongoing for months. There was even talk of a possible retirement after playing in the Euros with Croatia, but Modric wants to continue. His desire is to end his career at the Santiago Bernabéu, just like Toni Kroos did, and the club is seriously considering offering him one last contract.
A reduced contract will be offered to him
However, the board has been clear with him: to continue, he must accept a salary reduction, as was the case with other veterans like Sergio Ramos or Marcelo, as reported by 'Cadena SER'. Furthermore, he is aware that his time on the field will be even more limited. The emergence of young talents in midfield requires Modric to assume a more supporting role, focused on contributing within the squad and assisting in crucial moments.
Nevertheless, his presence continues to be highly valued in Valdebebas, both for what he represents and for what he can still offer. Barring any last-minute changes, everything points to the upcoming season being Modric's final one as a Real Madrid player. A farewell befitting a legend.
