In a significant development, Real Madrid has decided not to extend Luka Modric’s contract, marking the conclusion of his illustrious 12-year tenure with the club. The decision, reported by Sport, implies that the 2018 Ballon d’Or winner will depart the Spanish capital next summer, leaving a remarkable legacy behind.
Modric, considered one of the finest midfielders in history, played a pivotal role in securing numerous trophies for Los Blancos since his arrival from Tottenham in 2012. However, recent reports indicate that the 38-year-old has been discontented with his playing time under manager Carlo Ancelotti, leading to this decision.
As the Croatian maestro contemplates his next move, potential destinations include Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami and a reunion with Cristiano Ronaldo in the Saudi Pro League. Modric, who broke Messi and Ronaldo’s Ballon d’Or dominance in 2018, will be a free agent in the upcoming summer transfer window.
Fans eagerly await Modric’s performance in Real Madrid’s upcoming La Liga match against Villarreal on December 17, unsure whether he will secure a spot in the starting lineup or face another stint on the bench.
