Real Madrid have already bid farewell to one club legend, Toni Kroos, who has officially retired from the game after EURO 2024. Therefore, Real Madrid fans who were holding back the tears will be glad to know that they won't have to bid farewell to Luka Modric, at least not this summer.
Six-time Champions League winner officially re-signs for Real Madrid
The 38-year-old is set to go for at least one more year with Real Madrid. In fact, this is no longer speculation, as the Croatia midfielder has officially re-signed a contract with Los Blancos, keeping him in the Spanish capital for at least one more season.
As things stand, no player in history has more Champions League title wins than Luka Modric. The Croatian legend has won the competition six times with Real Madrid, a record which is matched only by his teammate Dani Carvajal.
Therefore, signing a contract extension is a great opportunity for Luka Modric to add to his already impressive tally in the best club competition in the world. The former Ballon d'Or winner feels that he can still play at the top of his game and after his impressive performances last time out, why wouldn't he feel that way?

Real Madrid now have the impossible task of not only matching last season's success but beating it. Given that last time out, Carlo Ancelotti won the treble, he has set a very high standard of his current crop of players. However, hailing the current Real Madrid squad as the best squad he's ever coached, Ancelotti will have faith in his army.
Luka Modric will be joined by a pool of new talent at Real Madrid next season. Kylian Mbappe and Endrick are confirmed to join, with a plethora of world-class talent on the Real Madrid transfer list.
As a player who has been at the height of the game for many years now, Luka Modric will be key to implementing the upcoming players into their new roles. After all, he is a pivotal member of the authority team at Real Madrid currently.
Do you think Luka Modric can hit the same heights in the 2024/25 season?
