Real Madrid midfield sensation sends emotional letter to Luka Modric – “I will miss you” | OneFootball

The news of Luka Modric’s departure from Real Madrid in the coming summer has come as a shock to many, including Real Madrid’s own stars.

Greetings and wishes have come out from across the Real Madrid first-team, with Jude Bellingham stealing the show with a heartfelt message for the veteran midfielder.

Bellingham, who has spent two seasons with Modric since joining the club in 2023, wrote an emotional note, thanking Modric for guiding him at the Bernabeu.

Bellingham’s message to Modric

“The only thing outweighing my sadness right now is the gratitude I feel for having had the honour of being your teammate. So many great memories on and off the pitch that I will treasure forever,” Bellingham started, in what was a long post on his social media.

The English international commended Modric’s temperament, professionalism and the fact that he was one of Real Madrid’s most successful players in the recent past.

“Your magic was never a surprise and there’s nothing I can say that hasn’t already been said about your incredible achievements but your humility, openness and the time you took for every single person in any circumstance has blown me away,” he said.

“You’re a constant reminder of everything that is beautiful about football,” added the young midfielder, who is slowly growing into one of Real Madrid’s most important first-team players.

While Bellingham is quite a different player than Modric as far as style of play is concerned, the two has always gelled well on the pitch.

Talking about their combination plays, Bellingham thanked the Croat for every pass, goal and basically every other contribution on the pitch.

“Brate, from the bottom of my heart thank you for every pass (whether it was with the inside or outside), every dribble, every nutmeg and every shot but more meaningful to me every chat, every hug, every dinner and every piece of wisdom and advice that you gave,” he said.

The Englishman concluded with, “I will miss you.”
