In a recent interview with El Partidazo de Cope, Real Madrid’s veteran midfielder Luka Modrić dropped significant hints about his future plans, stirring speculation among fans and pundits alike.
The Croatian maestro, whose contract with the Spanish giants is set to expire, revealed that he has made a decision regarding his career but stopped short of sharing the details.
“The decision on my future is made but I can’t tell you yet,” Modrić stated, leaving room for widespread conjecture. The 38-year-old has long been vocal about his desire to hang up his boots at the Santiago Bernabéu, a sentiment he reiterated passionately during the interview. “I have always said I want to retire at Real Madrid, this is what I really want,” he emphasized.
Modrić, who has been a linchpin in Real Madrid’s midfield since joining the club in 2012, expressed his deep emotional connection with the club. “This would be a dream, this is my home, the club of my life. I want a farewell like Toni Kroos,” he added, referencing his teammate’s celebrated tenure at the club.
Since his arrival from Tottenham Hotspur, Modrić has won numerous titles with Real Madrid, including multiple Champions League trophies, and has earned a Ballon d’Or for his exceptional performances. His potential decision to stay and retire at Real Madrid would resonate deeply with the club’s supporters, who have witnessed his pivotal role in some of the team’s greatest triumphs.
As fans await an official announcement, Modrić’s comments have fueled hopes that the midfield maestro will continue to grace the Bernabéu pitch. Whether extending his contract or planning his farewell, one thing is certain: Luka Modrić’s legacy at Real Madrid is already firmly etched in the club’s storied history.
