Luka Modric has signed a one-year contract extension with Real Madrid, keeping the legendary Croatian midfielder at the club until 2025, The Athletic reported on Sunday.
At 38 years old, Modric is taking a lower salary and accepting a smaller role on the field. Despite these changes, he remains a crucial part of the team, helping Real Madrid clinch both the La Liga and UEFA Champions League titles this season. 🏆🔥
Modric joined Real Madrid from Tottenham Hotspur in August 2012 and has since made 534 appearances, scoring 39 goals and providing 86 assists. His leadership and skill have been instrumental in securing four La Liga championships and six Champions League titles, among other honors.
The dynamic midfield duo of Modric and Toni Kroos has been so vital to the team's success that Real Madrid began extension negotiations with both earlier this year. However, Kroos has announced his retirement after representing Germany in this year's UEFA European Championship.
