Luka Modric signed a new one-year deal with Real Madrid which will keep him at the Spanish capital till 2025, confirmed the club in a press release on Wednesday.
Modric, 38, will continue his journey with the European Champions for one more year after winning La Liga and the Champions League with Los Blancos last season.
“Real Madrid CF and Luka Modric have agreed to extend the contract of our captain, who will be linked to the club until 30 June 2025,” Real Madrid said in a presser.
“Modric arrived at Real Madrid in 2012, and in his twelve seasons representing our shirt he has become a Real Madrid and world football legend.”
After arriving at the club in 2012, Modric made his debut under the leadership of former head coach Jose Mourinho. He soon became an important player for the club and has been contributing greatly ever since.
“He has won 26 titles with Real Madrid: 6 Champions Leagues, 5 Club World Cups, 4 European Super Cups, 4 Leagues, 2 Copas del Rey and 5 Spanish Super Cups. Modric is one of only five players to have won 6 European Cups and has the most titles in the history of our club,” the club added.
“On an individual level, Modric won the Ballon d'Or, the FIFA Player of the Year Award and was named UEFA Player of the Year in 2018. He has been part of the FIFA FIFPro World XI 6 times and has been voted the Champions League's Best Midfielder twice. He has won 1 Ballon d'Or and 1 Silver Ball at the Club World Cup. With the Croatian national team, he won the Golden Ball at the 2018 World Cup and the Bronze Ball at the 2022 World Cup.”
It is worth mentioning that Modric’s extension with Madrid is crucial as the Whites lost one of their key midfielders, Toni Kroos who announced that he is retiring from football at the age of 34.
