Luka Modric announces he is leaving Real Madrid, bringing with him an unprecedented record

Modric, who holds the record for most trophies won by a Real player, wrote on his personal page: “The time has come. The moment I never wanted to come has come. But that is football, and in life everything has a beginning and an end... This Saturday I will play my last match at the Santiago Bernabeu.

I came here in 2012 with the hope of wearing the shirt of the best team in the world . With Real, I had the ambition to do great things. But I could not have imagined what would happen next.

"Playing for Real Madrid has changed my life as a footballer and as a person. I am proud to have been part of one of the most successful eras of Real Madrid, the best team in history. I would like to sincerely thank the club, especially the president Florentino Pérez, my teammates, the coach and everyone who has helped me during this time."

After coach Ancelotti, Modric also left Real

According to Spanish media, Real Madrid's board have prioritised a generational change, building a midfield around younger players such as Jude Bellingham, Eduardo Camavinga, Aurelien Tchouameni and Federico Valverde. Keeping Modric for another season may have delayed that transition.

That's why they didn't renew Modric's contract. So he will play his last game at the Bernabeu this Saturday. After that, the Croatian midfielder will play for Real in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup before ending his 13-season association with the Royal team.

During his time wearing the white shirt of Real, he made many great contributions to bring home 4 La Liga championships, 2 King's Cups, 5 Spanish Super Cups, 5 UEFA Super Cups, 5 FIFA Club World Cups and especially 6 Champions League titles, becoming one of the players who won the most Champions Leagues in history. He is also the Real Madrid player who has won the most titles ever (28).
