It looked like he was going to stay. According to media reports, there was talk of an extension, but now Luka Modric is surprisingly leaving Real Madrid after all. He just announced this on his Instagram profile.

"Dear Madridistas: The moment has come. The moment I never wanted to let come, but that's football, and in life, everything has a beginning and an end... On Saturday, I will play my last game at the Santiago Bernabéu," wrote the 39-year-old.

At least his fans can be pleased with a statement from Modrić, as he also announced in his statement that he will play the Club World Cup with the Royals.

He ended the post with the words: "We will see each other again. Real Madrid will always be my home. For the rest of my life. Hala Madrid y nada más. Luka Modric."
