Real Madrid soccer team
After a meeting with president Florentino, Modric has agreed to stay at Real Madrid for another season, with only the signing of a contract and the official announcement process remaining.
With the departure of Kroos and Nacho, Real Madrid still want to keep their team competitive and unbeatable. This is one of the main reasons why they decided to keep Modric around. Modric's excellent performances in recent weeks have also proved his worth, further strengthening the club's resolve to extend his contract.
Modric himself has never considered retiring now, and those who know him believe he may not opt out until after the 2026 World Cup. That means he still has a couple of seasons of high-level competitive play ahead of him.
Another important reason for Modric to remain at Real Madrid is his desire to break the club's record for the oldest player to make an appearance. This contract extension essentially guarantees that he will overtake Puskás as the oldest player to make an appearance for Real Madrid. This record, set by Puskáš on May 8, 1966 (39 years and 36 days) is expected to be broken at Modric's insistence.
Modric's contract extension is not only a continuation of his personal career, but also an important step for Real Madrid in maintaining the experience and strength of the team. Fans look forward to seeing the midfield maestro continue to show his class on the field and bring more victories and glory to the team.
