The ways of the Real Madrid and of Luka modric (35 years old) will stay together for at least one more season. Both parties have agreed on a contract renewal that will bind the Croatian until 2022 and only the official announcement is missing. The great performance that this course has had has ended up convincing the club, which has been with the intention of sealing the new contract for several months. On the part of Modric, he has always been willing to continue his career in white. Has proven it accepting the salary cut that the club has proposed to solve in the best possible way the economic problems that the pandemic has generated.
With this renewal, Modric confirmed to play his tenth season at Madrid. You will be, at least, until the age of 36 in the Santiago Bernabeu. Since his arrival in 2012 since Tottenham (They paid 35 million euros for him) he has won the affection of Real Madrid with good football. In total it carries 383 encounters with the white elastic in which you have marked 26 goals and has given 61 assists. Has won four Champions League, two Suspenders, a Cup of King and four World from Clubs. Individually, their performance has been highly valued, as evidenced by the trophy The Best and the Golden Ball which he conquered in 2018 after being European champion with Madrid and world runner-up with Croatia.
This course, when it seemed that it was time to give up the youngest, has once again been essential for Zidane. In addition to being among the footballers most used by the French (adds 3,038 minutes in 40 games), has returned to support Madrid in the most critical moments of the season together with Kroos Y Casemiro. The three have formed a midfield that will go down in club history. Their great physical resistance is also highly valued: The 35-year-old has only missed one game due to injury this season. It is being key for Madrid to have been placed as a leader in the League and have reached the semifinals of the Champions League.
With the renewal of Modric closed, the club has left in the pipeline those of Bouquets Y Luke, which will be released in June. They will not be easy since the central and lateral claims are not in line with what Madrid offers. To this must be added another list of players who end their relationship in 2022 and that the club, due to the pandemic, has postponed for later, such as Nacho or Benzema.
