Croatian midfielder Luka Modric has confirmed that the current season will be his last with Real Madrid. After the team’s final La Liga match against Real Sociedad, the 39-year-old shared an emotional message on social media, marking the end of a remarkable chapter at the Santiago Bernabéu.
According to reports, Modric had hoped to continue for another season, but a final meeting with club president Florentino Pérez led to the decision to part ways.
During his 13-year tenure at Real Madrid, Modric amassed an impressive 28 trophies, including six Champions League titles and four La Liga championships. He is now the club’s most decorated player, surpassing legends like Marcelo and Karim Benzema. Despite his age, Modric remains in peak physical condition and has set his sights on representing Croatia in the 2026 World Cup.
While his time at Real Madrid is concluding, Modric’s career is far from over. He has received offers from clubs in Saudi Arabia and the United States, with both leagues attracting high-profile players in recent years. However, Modric’s decision will likely be influenced by the opportunity to maintain competitive fitness ahead of the World Cup.
As Modric prepares to depart, he leaves behind a legacy of excellence and dedication, having been a pivotal figure in Real Madrid’s success over the past decade. His next move will be closely watched by fans and analysts alike, eager to see where the Croatian legend continues his career.
