Real Madrid has decided: Luka Modric’s contract will not be extended.
From the next season, the Croatian midfielder will no longer wear the jersey of “Merengues” and will be free to choose his new club.
According to the information provided by “Cadena SER”, Modric is already aware of the future plans of the club, which in recent years has been rejuvenating the team, above all in the midfield.
In recent months, the former Tottenham player has played little, more precisely in the period when Camavinga and Tchoauméni were injured.
Modric has not even been called to warm up in the last two matches of the championship, against Almeria and Las Palmas.
Coach Carlo Ancelotti, meanwhile, has justified his non-invitation with a statement: “He is a legend, it is not right to be called to warm up and not get into the game. I can do this with Arda Guler, who is young, but not with him”, said the Italian coach.
Of course, it is clear that “Don Carlo” no longer regards the Croatian as an undisputed starter: in 24 games so far in all competitions, the veteran midfielder has played only 14 times from the first minute and only twice for the whole game .
The 38-year-old must make a decision about the future.
He had offers from Saudi Arabia, which he had rejected.
Everything hints that he will continue to play, while he will be the captain of the national team in Euro 2024.
And then he will choose the new team, a new adventure after 12 years at Real Madrid.
“Los Blancos” had invested 42 million euros to get him from Tottenham.
Along with Ramos, Ronaldo, Marcelo, Benzema, Kroos and Casemiro have marked a legendary era in Madrid.
The Croatian has won five Champions League trophies and many other trophies.
He reached his peak in 2018 when he won the most important individual award for a player, the Ballon d’Or.
