Luka Modric will sign a contract extension with Real Madrid after winning his fifth Champions League title, according to GOAL.
Modric has spent nine seasons with Real Madrid, the most recent of which saw him add three more trophies to his already illustrious career CV.
The Blancos won their 14th European Cup on Saturday night, adding to their Supercopa de Espana and La Liga triumphs, and Modric is ready to re-affirm his commitment to the Spanish giants.
What Are The Terms Of Modric’s New Contract?
Modric is set to become a free agent on June 30, but Madrid is willing to offer him new terms that will keep him at the club until the end of the 2022-23 season.
The 36-year-old has convinced the club’s board to keep him after another outstanding season in which he scored three goals and added 12 assists in 45 appearances across all competitions, with one of his best performances coming in their 1-0 Champions League final victory against Liverpool.
GOAL reports that Madrid will consider extending Modric’s contract until 2024 if he continues to perform at a high level next season.
Modric’s Legacy At Real Madrid Continues To Grow
Modric is unlikely to leave the Bernabeu of his own will, as the Croatian has already stated his desire to retire in Spain’s capital.
“I’m hoping to retire in Madrid. Madrid is where I call home. I’m extremely happy at the club, in the city, and I’m quite popular with the locals “He said this after collecting the Marca Leyenda award earlier this month.
“My family is also quite happy, so I’m hoping to stay here for a few more years and finish my profession.”
When speaking to Real Madrid TV at the club’s Champions League celebration event, Modric effectively confirmed that he will be signing a new contract, telling fans, “See you here next season.”
Since joining Madrid from Tottenham in 2012, Modric has made 462 appearances for the club, winning 19 major trophies.
In 2018, the veteran midfielder won the Ballon d’Or, and he appears set to continue leading Carlo Ancelotti’s team in the middle of the park for the foreseeable future.
