Real Madrid legend Luka Modric has intentions clear over future at club
For much of last season, it looked as if Luka Modric would be leaving Real Madrid this past summer, with the 39-year-old dropping to the bench for the majority of their big games last season. However having accepted a secondary role, Modric has changed his outlook
This weekend he is set to surpass Ferenc Puskas as the oldest ever player to feature for Real Madrid, and he has no plans to stop there. Marca say that far from feeling his increased protagonism this season without Toni Kroos is part of a last hurrah, Modric intends to continue at the club next season.
