This is what the Croatian player wants to do for the future.
This is what the Croatian player wants to do for the future.

There is no doubt that Real Madrid signed one of the best midfielders in the world several years ago, who at the time perhaps arrived as a promise and who ended up becoming a legend who as a grown-up continued to bring joy to the Spanish team that never ceases to surprise you.

We are talking about none other than Luka Modric, who was born to play in the best team in the world and who put together a huge midfield with Toni Kroos and Casemiro, a trident that will be difficult to repeat although now they have very young players who have also been doing things more than well.

Modric this season is not always starting as much as he used to because Carlo Ancelotti opts for other options and it is good because the years go by and the players do not play in the same way. Now, there has been a lot of talk about his future because his contract ends in 2024 and they reveal if he will make the decision to retire.

Are you still playing? 

"By all football standards, Modrić should have retired a couple of years ago. But then you watch him play and you have to say this guy isn't 38, he's 28. "It's a time when he'll decide to stop playing, but as his true friend, my opinion is that he has two more years of competitive football left. Luka can still give us a lot of joy," said historic Predrag Mijatović
