New Real Madrid deal for Modric

According to a recent report from AS, Luka Modric is set to sign a one-year contract extension to stay at Real Madrid.

The deal will ensure that the 36-year-old remains with the Spanish giants until summer 2023 and with him currently being on a rolling-12 month contract, it removes the worry from fans that he may leave during the summer transfer window.

Alas, fresh terms are believed to have just about been agreed, making sure that one of Real’s most notable names from the last decade stays a part of the furniture at the Bernabeu.

Real are starting to look like genuine contenders in Europe again and also lead the way in La Liga, leading many to believe they’ve finally rediscovered the right balance within their squad.

Modric, given all the glory he’s had with them, may be precisely the right man to help lead them into a new, sustained era of success.
