37 years old. Before reaching this age, many Rathi-Maharathi have said goodbye to playing life. Luka Modric is not from that team. Just as the national team leads Croatia from the front, Real Madrid are similarly a beacon of hope.
Stars like Cristiano Ronaldo, Mesut Ozil, Angel Di Maria, Sergio Ramos, Casemiro have left Real but Modric still remains. Although Ronaldo agreed to the proposal of Saudi Arabian club Al Nasr, he directly said 'no' . But his contract with Real will expire at the end of this season. What will happen then?
Modrich said, there is no retirement plan; Rather, by working harder, Real will extend the contract with the club by drawing the attention of the authorities.
Tonight, the current champion of the tournament, Real, is going to play the first leg of the last sixteen against Liverpool in the Champions League. "I'm doing everything I can to stay here (at the Santiago Bernabeu)," Modric told reporters after arriving at Anfield. My relationship with the club has always been good. It won't change.'
After becoming the best player of the 2018 World Cup in Russia, the Italian club Inter Milan tried to get Modric. Real didn't want to leave the Croatian captain because another superpower club of the country, Juventus, brought Ronaldo to the team that same year. The most successful club in Europe kept him at the Santiago Bernabeu by extending his contract in phases.
Modric, who joined Real from Tottenham in 2012, last renewed his contract with the club last year. He said, 'Like last year, I am in no rush. I'm in the middle of the season now. Many challenges ahead. That is my focus. I want to take myself to the highest level again. Then let's see what happens.'
Real Madrid all-rounder Modric is considered an integral part of the team by coach Carlo Ancelotti. Ancelotti named Toitambo's midfield 'Real's Bermuda Triangle' after developing experience with Modric, Toni Kroos and Casemiro. The famous triangle was broken last year with Casemiro's move to Manchester United without any warning. Ancelotti certainly does not want to lose the 'midfield general' Modric!

Modric scored 6 goals in 31 matches in all competitions this season, 3 through teammates. He played all but the match against Osasuna due to injury in La Liga.
