Real Madrid captain Luka Modric has signed a one-year contract extension with the Spanish champions, continuing his illustrious career at the Bernabeu. The 38-year-old Croatian midfielder has been a pivotal figure at Real Madrid since joining from Tottenham Hotspur in 2012, amassing an impressive 26 trophies, including six Champions League titles and four La Liga crowns.
Modric, who won the 2018 Ballon d’Or, has featured in 534 matches for Los Blancos, contributing 39 goals. Despite his age, he remains a crucial part of the squad, playing 46 times across all competitions in the 2023-24 season, although he started in just 23 of those matches. His experience and leadership will be invaluable as manager Carlo Ancelotti prepares for his 13th season at the helm.
At Euro 2024, Modric started in all three of Croatia’s group stage matches. Unfortunately, the team was eliminated after finishing third in their group. His performance at the tournament underscored his enduring quality and importance to both club and country.
Modric’s contract was set to expire at the end of June, but his renewal ensures that Real Madrid retains one of its most experienced and respected players. This extension is seen as a strategic move to maintain stability and veteran presence within the squad, especially as Real Madrid integrates new talents.
In addition to Modric’s extension, Real Madrid has made significant moves in the transfer market. The club has completed the high-profile signing of French striker Kylian Mbappe from Paris Saint-Germain, who was officially unveiled on July 16. This signing is expected to add a new dimension to Real’s attack.
Furthermore, the club has secured the services of teenage sensation Endrick from Brazilian side Palmeiras. The 15-time European champions are clearly focused on blending seasoned veterans with emerging talents to continue their dominance in European football.
Modric’s continued presence at Real Madrid is a testament to his enduring class and the trust the club places in his abilities. As the new season approaches, fans can look forward to seeing him guide the next generation of stars at the Bernabeu.
