Real Madrid celebrated their La Liga triumph in style at the iconic Cibeles fountain, with even President Florentino Perez left impressed by the way the team has performed this season.
Yet amidst the revelry, one question lingers: Luka Modric’s future. The Croatian maestro, a pivotal figure in the title run, offered little clarity during the festivities.
When pressed by reporters about his contract renewal status, Modric hinted that his desire is to continue at Santiago Bernabeu.
“I have already said many times and I think you also know everything,” said the veteran midfielder (h/t Madrid Xtra).
This echoes his agent’s recent statement, suggesting a decision is imminent but details remain undisclosed.

Modric’s agent, Vladika Lemic, previously declared that “things will be clearer for us” regarding his client’s future. This hinted at a potential decision before the Champions League final on June 1.
The former Spurs midfielder’s current contract at the Bernabeu expires at the end of the season.
Modric’s future has been a source of debate for months. While a club legend, his age has sparked discussions about succession planning at Real Madrid, even though the club seem more than willing to extend the player’s contract.
Despite the uncertainty, Modric’s dedication and leadership remain undeniable. His performance throughout the season solidified his importance to the team.
The cryptic message leaves fans guessing, but one thing remains clear: a definitive answer on Modric’s future with Real Madrid is on the horizon.
