Luka Modric (39), whose contract is expiring, will leave Real Madrid after the Club World Cup. On Thursday, the Croatian midfielder officially confirmed his departure via an emotional message on social media.
“Dear Madridistas: The moment has come. The moment I never wanted to see, but this is football, and in life, everything has a beginning and an end… On Saturday, I will play my last match at the Santiago Bernabéu,” Modric said.
Having joined Real Madrid in 2012 from Tottenham, he expressed his gratitude for the years spent at the club, calling it an honor to play for “the best club in the world.” He also thanked president Florentino Pérez, his teammates, coaches, and all those who supported him during his career.
“We Won Everything and I Was Very Happy”
A legend of the club, Modric experienced incredible moments, including historic Champions League victories, improbable comebacks, and unforgettable celebrations. “I have lived magical moments at the Bernabéu… We won everything and I was very happy,” the Croatian added.
Modric concluded by saying he would leave the club “with a heart full of pride, gratitude, and unforgettable memories.” Although he will no longer wear the Real Madrid jersey after the Club World Cup, he will always consider himself a “madridista,” ready to return to the home that saw him grow. On Saturday, May 25, he will play his final match at the Santiago Bernabéu against Real Sociedad, marking the end of an era for the Spanish club.
