OFFICIAL: Luka Modric leaves Real Madrid

The next match against Real Sociedad will mark a historic moment at the Santiago Bernabéu. Luka Modric, a symbol of Real Madrid for over a decade, will put an end to his time as a Merengue player at the age of 39. This has been confirmed by the player himself on his social media, closing a chapter that began in 2012 and has left an indelible mark on the white fans.

Although the Croatian midfielder wished to continue for another year, the club has decided not to extend his contract. The focus on a generational renewal in the midfield has left out one of the most influential players of recent times. For this reason, the club had been silent regarding his future. Nevertheless, Modric will have a fitting farewell: his last home game will serve as a tribute to one of the great idols of the club's recent history, sharing that emotional day with Carlo Ancelotti, his most decorated coach.

28 titles in his 13 seasons as a Real Madrid player

During his 13 seasons, Modric won all possible titles: six Champions Leagues, four La Liga titles, five Club World Cups, among many other trophies. In addition, his Ballon d'Or in 2018 broke the dominance of Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, crowning his extraordinary career both at Madrid and with the Croatian national team.

Beyond his talent, his leadership, and exemplary behavior made him a role model on and off the field. He was the heart of the midfield that dominated Europe alongside Kroos and Casemiro, an irreplaceable trio.

With his farewell, it's not just an irreplaceable player leaving. A symbol bids farewell, a man who proudly represented the values of Real Madrid and leaves behind an eternal legacy in the club's history.
