Modric eager to extend Real Madrid stay until 2026

Luka Modric is determined to continue his illustrious career at Real Madrid, actively negotiating a new contract that would keep him at the club until June 2026, according to journalist Fabrizio Romano.
The Croatian midfielder, who has been a key figure for the club for over a decade, is keen to remain with Los Blancos for at least one more season, despite approaching his 40th birthday in 2025.
His commitment to the club is clear as he continues to express his strong desire to be part of the squad moving forward. Once again, the midfielder has emphasised that his first choice, as always, is Real Madrid, and he is determined to continue contributing to the team's success.
Despite his age, his performance levels remain high, and his trainer has suggested that the Croatian maestro could play beyond his initial expectations of retiring at 36.
