May 24 - According to Marca, if Modric extends his contract with Real Madrid for another year, he will have the chance to overtake Puskás as the
Real Madrid soccer team
Oldest player to play in team history.
Currently, Modric, who is 38 years and 253 days old, is just one step away from the record for the oldest Real Madrid appearance in team history (39 years and 36 days), which was set on May 8, 1966 by Puskás. Based on this timeline, if Modric is able to play for Real Madrid again in October 2024, he will set the record at 39 years and 253 days.
Since joining Real Madrid in 2012, Modric has been a central force in the team's midfield, winning numerous honors for the team, including five Champions League trophies. His skill, vision and experience have made him an indispensable member of the team, and even as he is approaching the later stages of his career, he still maintains his outstanding athleticism.
According to reports, Real Madrid are positive about extending Modric's contract. The club hopes that the experienced midfield veteran will continue to contribute to the team and play a key role in the new season. Modric's contract extension will not only mean that the strength of the team is maintained, but will also set an example for the younger players.
