Modric is lost about the future

Modric still wants to stay with Real Madrid.

Exactly a year ago, things were different. Modric’s last meeting with Florentino Perez in mid-May last year was preceded by some previous discussions about a contract extension. But this season, everything has been completely silent. There has been no talk, no sign from the club.

This is not unusual for Real Madrid, who often leave important matters until the last minute. Nacho, for example, signed a new contract after the final game of last season with Athletic Club, going from a seemingly-departing deal to a renewal after a private conversation with President Perez. Similarly, Lucas Vazquez went through a similar situation a year ago.

Modric, at 39, still wants to stay at Real Madrid. Another season, another World Cup in the US, and then his career will end. He is ready to accept new terms to continue playing, but the silence from the club has left the former Tottenham Hotspur midfielder in a state of uncertainty, waiting for an upcoming meeting with Florentino Perez to get the final answer.

Modric's form and fitness remain admirable. This season, he has played 54 matches for Real Madrid and 8 more for the Croatian national team, a total that could surpass 70 official matches in the 2024/25 season - a personal record in his career, proving the longevity and class of this veteran midfielder. Despite the slight reduction in playing minutes, Modric's important role on the pitch has not diminished.

Modric's future is unclear.

The only thing on Modric's mind right now is to continue playing football, to wear the Real Madrid shirt on the journey to conquer the World Cup and say goodbye to his peak career in his own way. Although the club's leadership once intended to terminate the contract, they are still hesitant because they are clearly aware of the importance and great value that Modric brings.

During the most recent training session at Valdebebas, just before the match against Mallorca, his teammates and club members advised Modric to call coach Xabi Alonso to get advice and clear up any lingering doubts. And on the pitch, Modric continued to show excellent form, bringing the creativity and coherence that Real Madrid have lacked in recent matches.

Luka Modric's future remains up in the air, and the upcoming meeting with Florentino Perez could be a decisive turning point for one of the living legends of world football.
