Modrić has repeatedly shown his deep commitment to Real Madrid. He has accepted pay cuts, turned down lucrative offers from Saudi Arabia, and resisted calls to join MLS in the United States.
With his dedication, work ethic, and the vital role he plays in Carlo Ancelotti’s squad, Modrić has undoubtedly earned every contract renewal. Despite being 39 years old, there is no sign of decline in his performances.
Modrić is keen to stay at Real Madrid for another season, ensuring he is in top shape for the 2026 World Cup.
And it seems Real Madrid has the same idea.
At least, that’s what journalist Ekrem Konur from Caught Offside is reporting, stating that Real Madrid also wants to keep Modrić.
