Luca Modric wants to continue his career with Real Madrid until the 2026 World Cup.
Spain's Lelevo said on the 17th (Korea time) "The Real Scouts department has taken on an almost impossible challenge. It's about finding a new Modric. The Real Scouts know that no one in the current squad can keep up with Modric's career. But I want a player similar to Modric. A creative midfielder with both talent and dedicationReal are looking for a successor to Modric, he said.
At the same time, the media said Modric expressed his willingness to continue his active career at Real. Lelebo says "Modric, a 39-year-old legend, is at the end of his career but he wants to continue competing at the highest level. In fact, Modric is doing so. He has played for more than 2,000 minutes this season, scoring four goals and seven assists. He started in the second round of the European Champions League's round of 16 against Atletico Madrid, which was the most important of the season"Modric is still showing his undying skills," he said.
Modric continues to play as an active player because of his willingness to play in the next World Cup. The media reports "Modrich is not even considering retirement. What he wants is to continue playing until the 2026 World Cup, and he wants to renew his contract with Real for another year. A final decision will be made at the end of May" he noted.
Modric is one of the best midfielders of the 21st century. He is also a player who ended the world view of the Ballon d'Or, which Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo dominated. He ranked first in the Ballon d'Or when he advanced Croatia, who was not the favorite to win the 2018 World Cup in Russia, to the final. It was a choice without disagreement.
Modric, who was born in 1985 and is the same age as Ronaldo, is still showing the highest level of competitiveness in active games, even in Real. He can't play all games full-time due to his age, but Modric is proving again this season that if he manages consistently, he can be of great help to Real.
He is also the most successful player in history. Since moving to Real, he has won 29 trophies. He has become the player who has touched the most trophies in Real history. With current skills, there is no reason for Real not to extend Modric's contract. As a player with leadership, he can play many roles outside the stadium.
Real are expected to discuss a one-year extension with Modric, but Real are looking for a player who can replace Modric at the same time. This is because it is impossible to draw a long-term future with a player over 40 years old. Relevo says "Real is working towards a future without Modric and wants to prepare for his absence."," he added.
