Real Madrid captain Luka Modric has signed a new one-year deal to keep him at the Santiago Bernabeu for the upcoming season, the European champions announced today.
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.
He has only started 37 times across the last two league seasons, but remains 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.
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.
