Real Madrid has confirmed the renewal of Luka Modric on a one-year deal until June 2024, just four days before his contract expired. Modric's contract was supposed to expire at the end of this month, so the Royal decided to renew his contract to secure the midfield, after renewing the contracts of Toni Kroos and Danny Ceballos. The club said in a statement on its official website: “Real Madrid and Luka Modric have agreed to extend the player’s contract, which remains linked to the club until June 30, 2024.” “Luka Modric arrived at Real Madrid in 2012, in the eleven seasons he spent defending our shirt. The player from Zadar has played 488 official matches for the club and has bagged five Champions Leagues, three Leagues, two Copas del Rey, five Club World Cups, four European Super Cups, and four Spanish Super Cups in that time along with the 2018 Ballon d’Or. Modric reportedly turned down a big money deal from the Saudi Arabia Pro League to stay with the Spanish giants after Al Hilal offered him €200 million to play in the Saudi League for three seasons.
