Modric does not forget the World Cup final and if Mbappe arrives, he leaves

Real Madrid announces the end of an era with the decision not to renew the contract of Luka Modric, whose contract with the club ends on June 30. The Croatian, 38, faces the prospect of finding a new destination to continue his career after a successful 12-season spell at the Santiago Bernabeu.

The news, which has been confirmed by Cadena SER, does not come as a complete surprise to Real Madrid fans, as Modric has experienced a decline in playing time this season, mainly due to injuries to other key players such as Camavinga and Tchoauméni. In the last two La Liga games against Almeria and UD Las Palmas, Modric has not even been part of the squad, his absence being justified by coach Carlo Ancelotti, who considers him a club legend and does not want to make him warm up with no intention of making him play.

According to several reports, the Croatian's decision could be due to some quarrel he had with Mbappe, who will be a new Madrid player, during the final of the 2018 World Cup in Russia. Despite his imminent departure from Real Madrid, Luka Modric shows that he still has a lot of soccer to offer. His performance with the Croatian national team continues to be impressive, leading the team and securing their participation in Euro 2024, where they will face the likes of Spain, Italy and Albania in the group stage.

He also reached the World Cup final with the Croatian national team in 2018, an achievement that makes him a leading figure in world soccer.
