Liga lawns will probably be lucky enough to be trodden by Luka Modric (37) until the summer of 2024. AS announces that the Croatian, whose contract expires in June, has met with Madrid leaders and in particular Florentino Perez. The president of the club, who applies a strict policy to all thirty-year-olds (renegotiated extension year by year) can count on the will of his number 10 to continue his Spanish adventure for an additional season.

The 2018 Ballon d’Or is still as successful and its ability to chain meetings impresses. The midfielder is supplied with Toni Kroos (33), Federico Valverde (24), Aurélien Tchouameni (23), Dani Ceballos (26) and Eduardo Camavinga (20) but Modric is still a permanent starter.

Arrived in 2012 from Tottenham, Modric now has nearly 500 games with Real Madrid. AS also announces that the president would have welcomed Modric’s desire to give priority to Madrid and to remain competitive at the highest level while the latter has a fabulous offer from Saudi Arabia (50 million over two seasons).
