A few days ago, according to Spain's "Fichajes" report, Real Madrid is ready to renew the contract with the 35-year-old midfield core Modric again, they submitted a two-year contract to Mr. Ballon d'Or in 2018, once the renewal is completed, then Modric will stay at Real Madrid until 2024.
Modric is now in his 10th season at Real Madrid, winning 18 titles for the team, four of which are the most dazzling. In recent years, there have been rumors that he will leave Real Madrid, but before the end of each contract, Real Madrid will send a new contract, his contract this season is expired in the summer of 2022, which is also the end of last season Real Madrid and him to renew, the plan at that time was only a year to renew, at the end of this season Modric left the team, but now the situation has changed.
Despite being 35 years old, Modric is still the core player in real Madrid's midfield. He has played 39 games for Real Madrid this season, scoring three goals and having nine assists, and he has performed better against strong opponents, such as Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain, where he has key assists. Modric's performance has also changed Real Madrid's attitude towards him, and Florentino also hopes to keep the Croatian midfield core.
This time, Real Madrid unexpectedly offered a 2-year contract, which means that if Modric renews his contract, he will stay until 2024, which is rare for Real Madrid to rush to change blood. Florentino's move is also to see Modric lead the new, helping valverde, Camaranga and other young players to grow more rapidly.
If real madrid and Modric renew their contracts and complete their contracts, Real Madrid will extend a record, that is, since the 2000-01 season, there have been players who have won the Ballon d'Or and the World Footballer of the Year in 22 consecutive seasons, and during this period, the team's gentlemen have not been interrupted: Figo, Zidane, Da Luo, Irving, Kaka and C Ronaldo and other superstars have been here to call the wind, and if Modric completes the contract extension, then at least this record will be extended to 24 seasons.
And Modric is different from other Ballon d'Or gentlemen, and among those stars, only Zidane has completed the "good ending" of his career at Real Madrid. And if Modric renews his contract and completes the rest of his contract, he will turn 37 and he should retire at Real Madrid, and in this case, he is likely to become the second Mr. Ballon d'Or to retire from Real Madrid in the 21st century since Zizou.
