Serie A giants to offer bold Luka Modric transfer deal | OneFootball

Real Madrid captain Luka Modric will not be short on transfer offers after this summer’s FIFA Club World Cup in the USA.

Following a call from the club not to extend his contract for the 2025/26 season, Modric is preparing to bring down the curtain on 13 years in the Spanish capital, but he has no plans to retire.

The 39-year-old has consistently indicated his desire to sign another one-year extension in Madrid, to play past his 40th birthday in September, and lead Croatia at the 2026 World Cup.

However the desire for change at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu is strong, and Modric will join Carlo Ancelotti in moving on this summer.

As per the small print of his current contract, Modric’s deal will not end in June, and he will captain Real Madrid in the USA – and their involvement could stretch to mid-July.
