UEFA Champions League
Luka Modric is getting closer to concluding his brilliant spell at Real Madrid. The veteran Croatian midfielder, who will turn 40 in September, could play his final match in the white shirt at the Santiago Bernabéu next weekend, facing Real Sociedad. Everything indicates that the club currently has no intention, at least for now, of extending the contract with one of their recent legends.
Despite having a significant role in LaLiga this season (even more so than in the previous two campaigns), there have been no moves from the top of the white team to propose a contract extension, as confirmed by 'CadenaCOPE'. Modric, who joined the club in the summer of 2012, has already spent thirteen seasons defending the Merengue shield and has earned the eternal affection of the Madrid fans with his elegance, commitment, and leadership in midfield.
Modric wants to continue, but Real Madrid doesn't take the step, leading to rumors
The silence of Real Madrid contrasts with the player's desire to continue, which he has never hidden. However, the generational shift in the squad and the club's future sports planning could have left Modric out of the plans for the next season.
Therefore, the match against Real Sociedad could become an unannounced yet very emotional farewell for an iconic figure of the club's recent great era. Unless there is a last-minute turn, the Santiago Bernabéu will witness the silent farewell of a footballer who has made an indelible mark in Real Madrid's history. A goodbye that perhaps deserved a different outcome.
