Real Madrid boasts one of the greatest squads in the world, with the ideal mix of seasoned veterans and energetic young players. The squad is presently competing in all the major competitions and has a legitimate shot at winning them. The La Liga is now a tight call, the Champions League has witnessed a rebirth of vintage Real Madrid gameplay, and the Copa Del Rey semifinals are coming up shortly.

As things stand, the team has a solid chance of winning a triple for the first time. But that's just for this season. The club must begin preparations for the following season immediately. Squad reinforcements, tactical improvements, and potential management changes are all on the club's agenda, and they are continually trying to achieve them.

Moving forward, Los Blancos must consider contract extensions for key players as well as the departure of individuals who do not appear to fit in.

Fabrizio gives update on contract extension of Madrid legend

According to Fabrizio Romano, Real Madrid icon Luka Modric intends to stay with the club for another year. Under the present deal, the player will be without a club by the end of June 2025. However, the player want to return for another season and continue to contribute to the squad in his current capacity.

According to the journalist, the Croatians' first preference is always Real Madrid. The footballer does not appear to be considering retirement and wants to sign a new agreement until June 2026.

While Luka Modric has not played all of Real Madrid's games this season, his contributions to the squad have not gone ignored. Despite being 39 years old, the midfielder remains one of the team's best players, leading by example. He offers a level of calm and serenity to the midfield that the regular roster lacks, and there does not appear to be a successor in the market.

It is unclear, though, as to how the club will proceed with his agreement and what project it has planned for the player.
