Luka Modric Aims to Extend Real Madrid Stay Despite Approaching 40

According to insider reports, Real Madrid’s midfield maestro Luka Modric is looking to extend his tenure with the Spanish giants. The Croatian international, who will turn 40 this September, is eager to sign a new contract that would keep him at the Bernabeu until the summer of 2026.

Modric, who has been a key figure for Real Madrid since joining in 2012, continues to display remarkable form and fitness. In the current season, he has made an impressive 44 appearances across all competitions, contributing 4 goals and 7 assists.

The veteran midfielder’s desire to continue at the highest level of football, even as he approaches his forties, is a testament to his enduring passion for the game and his importance to the Real Madrid squad. If the contract extension materializes, it would see Modric potentially playing top-flight football well into his fifth decade.
