OFFICIAL: Luka Modric Pens New Contract With Real Madrid

2018 ballon d’or winner, Luka Modric is expected to sign a new contract with Real Madrid at the end of the season.

The La Liga champions are set to reward Modric’s output with another year at the club, according to Spanish outlet AS.

The 35-year old midfielder’s contract is set to expire at the end of the season.

This has caused widespread speculation about his future, with a return to Tottenham suggested back in December. His new deal will put an end to these rumours.

The new contract is expected to include a pay cut amid financial difficulty at the Bernabeu.

The COVID-19 pandemic and its consequences have limited Real Madrid’s financial power.

Meanwhile, the Croatian captain will be hoping to end the season with at least one more winners’ medal around his neck.

His side reached the Champions League semi-finals on Wednesday after knocking out Liverpool, and are just one point off the top of La Liga.

Modric joined Real Madrid back in 2012 from Tottenham Hotspur.
