Good news for Madrid fans. Luka Modric (38 years old) is about to sign his renewal for one more season with Real Madrid. Everything accelerated after meeting with Florentino Pérez on Thursday afternoon and a subsequent conversation with the president held yesterday morning. The Croatian genius explained to him that his dream is to conclude his sporting career in white and the club president was very receptive to the player’s continuity due to his status as a Real Madrid legend.
Modric, who will turn 39 next September, has always been willing to continue at Madrid without caring in the least about the amount of the contract. His magnificent minutes in the second half at the Etihad (including extra time) and the glorious 25 minutes against Bayern at the Bernabéu (even saving a goal from the Germans after making an incredible 80-meter run), have convinced everyone. parts of the suitability of continuing to count on the Croatian maestro for another year.

The club has also appreciated the continuous ovations that Modric has received not only at the Bernabéu, but also at numerous visiting fields this season. A status, that of the Croatian, as an almost universal idol that gives prestige to Madrid. And Real Madrid is dedicated to the 10. At the party at Puerta del Sol to offer the fans the League 36, there was a spontaneous outburst of chants asking for his renewal shouting “Modric stay!” The good personal relationship between Modric and Florentino also works in favor of the current.
An affection that is in line with the feeling of the footballer, happy in Madrid and in Madrid. The Zadar genius has not been tempted by offers from Arab clubs and, at all times, made it clear to the president that the economic issue would not determine his future. He does not want to listen to the offers from Arabia or the MLS that have reached the table of his representatives. Money doesn’t move Luka and he just wants to see his dream of staying in white for another year come true. In fact, he would accept a reduction in his salary and repeat this secondary role next season, convincing the technical staff that his minutes can continue to be quality and decisive for the team.
Ancelotti does not have a spare footballer of his experience with this attitude and the player’s conversation with the president seems to indicate that an agreement that seemed distant is finally going to crystallize to the joy of that Bernabéu that chants his name every game. There is another relevant factor: if Nacho decides to leave the entity, the Croatian would go on to fulfill another dream, being the team’s first captain.
Modric arrived at Real Madrid in 2012 on the recommendation of Mourinho and after a very tough negotiation with Daniel Levy, president of Tottenham. Madrid ended up paying 35 million, which turned out to be cheap. His beginnings were difficult due to injuries, but he soon became a fundamental player in a team with which he has won five European Cups. On June 1, against Borussia Dortmund, he can get the sixth and equal Paco Gento’s record. Luka stays.
He has 25 titles: one away from the record that no one achieved
With the League recently won with total brilliance, Modric and Nacho have reached 25 official titles in white, equaling the record held since last year by Karim Benzema and Marcelo. If the 15th is won at Wembley, both will be the players with the most titles in the history of the white club (26). For this reason and given the situation that Nacho can accept the tempting offers that are coming to him from the MLS, Modric knows that by staying until 2025 he has serious chances to immortalize himself as the most successful player in white history. If they win at Wembley, the team will fight for seven titles next year: Champions League, Club World Cup, Copa del Rey, European and Spanish Super Cup and Intercontinental Cup.
