As the 2023/24 season enters its sprint phase, the futures of several Real Madrid stars remain open, including Luka Modric and Toni Kroos, whose contracts expire on June 30.

Previously, Luka Modric was said to be at high risk of leaving the Bernabeu. However, the 38-year-old midfielder’s impressive performances in recent UEFA Champions League matches have led many to believe that he may stay for another season.

Carlo Ancelotti and the Real Madrid board of directors want to keep Modric and the player himself feels he can still contribute to the team.

However, according to the latest announcement from journalist Ramon Alvarez, it is almost certain that Luka Modric will not continue to play for Real Madrid after the season ends. The 38-year-old will soon meet club president Florentino Perez to discuss his future.

Luka Modric will not continue at Real Madrid after this season

If Modric breaks up, this will be a big loss for Real Madrid. He has been a symbol of the club for more than a decade and still shows his ability to contribute at a high level. At the age of 38, Modric has reaped all the highest glory with Real Madrid with 5 Champions League titles, 4 European Super Cups and 5 FIFA Club World Cup summits.

This achievement can continue to increase if Real Madrid can defend the Champions League throne on June 1. At that time, Modric will join Marcelo, Benzema and Nacho, becoming the players with the most titles in Los Blancos history.

Alvarez said that when Modric leaves, the number 10 shirt will be reserved for Mbappe. This is the iconic shirt number at Real Madrid, once worn by legends such as Michael Laudrup, Luis Figo, Mesut Oezil. Mbappe wearing the number 10 shirt will show the importance and expectations Real Madrid has for him.
