Real Madrid 39-year-old midfielder Luka Modric is eager to extend his contract for another season, as per Fabrizio Romano. With 44 appearances, 4 goals, and 7 assists this season, Modric remains crucial, especially after Dani Ceballos injury. Eyeing the 2026 World Cup, Modric aims to stay fit while chasing a treble with Los Blancos.
With the 2024-25 season nearing its end, Luka Modric is keen on extending his stay at Real Madrid for another year. According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, the 39-year-old Croatian midfielder wants to continue playing at the Santiago Bernabéu despite his contract expiring this summer. Modric has been crucial for Madrid this season, making 44 appearances across all competitions, scoring 4 goals, and providing 7 assists.
His standout performances, especially against Valencia and Girona in La Liga, have proved that age hasn’t slowed him down. Modric’s role becomes even more vital now, following a hamstring injury to Dani Ceballos, which sidelines the Spanish midfielder. As Los Blancos chase a treble this season, Modric’s experience and leadership could be decisive in the final stretch.
Already a legend at Real Madrid, Modric remains motivated to win more trophies and stay in peak form ahead of the 2026 World Cup in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. He previously led Croatia to a runner-up finish in 2018 and third place in 2022, winning the Golden Ball in 2018. Modric is also set to captain Croatia in their Nations League quarter-final clash against France this week, reaffirming his enduring influence on club and country.
