Luka Modric isn’t ready to close the book on his Real Madrid career just yet. According to Marca, a decisive meeting is set to take place in the coming days between the Croatian legend and the club’s leadership.
At 38, the 2018 Ballon d’Or winner has no plans to retire and is reportedly willing to accept a significant pay cut to remain in Madrid.
Having already made financial sacrifices in previous seasons, Modric is once again ready to lower his salary. His personal goal? To continue wearing the iconic white shirt until he reaches the age of 40—a milestone he has long dreamed of achieving at the Bernabéu.
Decision in Alonso’s hands
With Real Madrid planning to strengthen their midfield this summer, squad balance could become a concern. The final decision is expected to lie with incoming head coach Xabi Alonso, who will have to weigh the value of Modric’s legacy against the push for a new era.
This Modric situation is shaping up to be both a sentimental and strategic dilemma for the Spanish giants.
