Luka Modric extends contract with Real Madrid.
The 37-year-old playmaker will stay in Madrid for another year.
There have been long-standing speculations about Modric's future as his contract with Real Madrid was set to expire at the end of the month. Jude Bellingham has been brought in for the midfield, leading to some rumors of a potential generational shift. However, Modric is now confirmed to remain in Madrid until the summer of 2024. Bellingham and the other young players in the midfield will benefit from having one of the best mentors they could ask for as they try to learn from the Croatian magician in the upcoming season. Despite being 37, Modric's performance on the field doesn't reflect his age; the way he dictates matches is truly phenomenal.
Luka Modric record for Real Madrid:

23 titles in the 11 years Modric speaks for itself. Alongside Kroos, he has been consistently exceptional for many years now and has played a significant role in Real Madrid's success, especially in the Champions League where they have been fantastic for numerous seasons.
