Czech Republic and Real Madrid captain, Luka Modric has put pen to paper for contract extension at the Santiago Bernabeu ahead of next season, the Club announced on Wednesday.
According to the announcement on Real Madrid website, the 38-year-old midfielder extended his contract until June 30, 2025.
Modric has won six Champions League titles, La Liga four times and lifted the Copa del Rey twice with Real Madrid.
The Midfielder has only started 37 times across the last two league seasons, despite being a key player for coach Carlo Ancelotti, having helped Los Blancos to a Champions League-La Liga double last term.
Modric became the oldest goalscorer in European Championship history last month when he netted for Croatia against Italy at Euro 2024, although he could not prevent the 2018 World Cup runners-up from suffering a group-stage exit.
“I’d like to keep playing forever but there will probably be a time I’ll have to hang up my boots,” Modric said after the agonising 1-1 draw with Italy which put Croatia out.
“I’ll keep playing on, I don’t know for how much longer.”
The news of Modric’s extension comes the day after new star signing Kylian Mbappe was presented to Madrid fans following his move from Paris Saint-Germain.
Madrid will kick off their league title defence at Real Mallorca on Sunday, August 18.
