Luka Modric’s enduring journey with Real Madrid will extend further, as the midfielder has signed a one-year contract extension.
The evergreen Modric will remain a presence at the Bernabeu for at least another season. His previous contract was set to expire at the end of June, but a new agreement ensures he will stay in Spain well beyond his 39th birthday.
In recent years, Modric has taken on a more supporting role at Madrid, with younger talents like Eduardo Camavinga, Aurelien Tchouameni, Fede Valverde, and Jude Bellingham emerging.
Despite starting only 18 games, Modric contributed significantly as Real secured another La Liga title.
Embracing his reduced playing time, Modric’s commitment reflects Real Madrid’s ongoing success in nurturing and acquiring midfield talent, positioning them strongly for future competitions.
Real Madrid stated, “Real Madrid C.F. and Luka Modrić have reached an agreement to extend the contract of our captain, keeping him with 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.”
Modric will be hoping to add to his extensive trophy collection next season and will surely be helped by the arrival of Kylian Mbappe.
