It’s the end for Luka Modric at Real Madrid, but the Croatian midfielder, 38, now has the possibility of joining Carlo Ancelotti’s staff if he decides to retire!
Luka Modric’s twelfth season at Real Madrid will be his last… At 38, the 2018 Ballon d’Or has become a luxury lining for the Merengues and, under contract until next June, he will not receive an extension proposal . The number 10 of the Croatian playmaker will also be allocated to Kylian Mbappé, the long-awaited star in the Spanish capital.
Modric could, however, stay at Real! Carlo Ancelotti has indeed proposed to the midfielder to join his staff in the event of his retirement, as indicated by the well-informed Mario Cortegana of the media The Athletic. Seeing the 2018 World Cup finalist bow out would be quite surprising, even as he approaches his 39th birthday, the player having been courted by Saudi Arabia since last year…
Modric still fit
If he now goes behind Toni Kroos, Aurélien Tchouaméni, Federico Valverde and Eduardo Camavinga – especially for big matches – the former Tottenham player is regularly aligned by his coach. Modric has played 20 matches in La Liga (one goal and 4 assists), five in the Champions League and three in cups. Not to mention the meetings with the Croatian selection, which will compete in Euro 2024 this summer.
Modric’s career choice will be followed at the end of the season. In the meantime, Casa Blanca plans to pay tribute to him during the last match of the season at the Bernabéu, on May 26. Modric has been Spanish champion three times since 2012 and has lifted the Champions League five times.
