A New Chapter for Luka Modric at Real Madrid
Real Madrid’s statement on Modric's contract extension highlights his legendary status:
“Real Madrid C.F. and Luka Modrić have agreed to extend the contract of our captain, who will be linked to the club until 30 June 2025. Modrić arrived at Real Madrid in 2012, and in his twelve seasons representing our shirt, he has become a Real Madrid and world football legend.”
Luka Modric has once again reaffirmed his commitment to Real Madrid by signing a one-year contract extension. The Croatian midfield legend, who has been with the club since 2012, will continue to don the iconic white jersey until June 2025.
Key Milestones:
- 2012 Arrival: Modric joined Real Madrid from Tottenham Hotspur.
- 2018 Ballon d’Or: He was crowned the best player in the world, breaking the duopoly of Messi and Ronaldo.
- Continued Presence: The veteran will remain with the club well into his 39th year.
The Latest Development
In a significant move for both the player and the club, Luka Modric’s contract, which was set to expire at the end of June, has been extended for another year. This means the midfield maestro will continue to showcase his talent at the Santiago Bernabeu, delighting fans for yet another season.
Context and Impact
While Modric’s playing time has been reduced in recent seasons due to the emergence of young talents like Eduardo Camavinga, Aurelien Tchouameni, Fede Valverde, and Jude Bellingham, his influence on the team remains profound. Last season, he started just 18 games but played a crucial role in Real Madrid’s La Liga triumph.
Future Prospects
As Luka Modric gears up for another season, he will aim to further expand his trophy cabinet. The recent addition of French superstar Kylian Mbappe to the squad is expected to enhance Real Madrid’s chances in both domestic and European competitions. Mbappe’s arrival brings a new dimension to the team’s attacking prowess, promising exciting times ahead for the fans.
