Just one day after officially announcing new signing Kylian Mbappe, Real Madrid continued to announce a 1-year contract extension with veteran midfielder Luka Modric. Thus, the Croatian captain will be attached to the Bernabeu until the end of the 2024/25 season.

This is considered an understandable move from Real Madrid, especially in the context of them having just said goodbye to Toni Kroos – Modric’s close teammate in midfield. Renewing Modric’s contract will help Los Blancos maintain stability and experience in the central area of ​​the pitch, while ensuring balance in the squad.

Modric joined Real Madrid in 2012 and has become a symbol of the club. Over the past 12 seasons, the Croatian midfielder has won 19 major titles with Real Madrid, including 5 UEFA Champions League titles and 6 La Liga titles.

Despite turning 39, Modric still shows impressive performance. In the 2023/24 season, he played 46 matches in all competitions, scored 2 goals and contributed 8 assists.

With the contract extension, Modric will have another year to contribute to Real Madrid and continue to conquer noble titles.

Real Madrid’s decision to extend Luka Modric’s contract is a wise one. Modric is still a top player and will continue to play an important role in the Los Blancos squad.
