The 13-year companion will be completed.

Real Madrid and Luka Modric break up. Real Madrid announced on its official channel on the 22nd (Korea time) that 「Modric is leaving the team after the FIFA Club World Cup」.

Real Madrid agreed to end the unforgettable phase after the Club World Cup in the U.S. from June 18. Real Madrid have already said they want to thank the club and Modric, one of the greatest legends of world football, and show all their affection.




Real Madrid President Florentino Perez also said "Modric has always been a unique and exemplary soccer player who represents Real Madrid's values. It will remain in every madridistas' heart forever. Real Madrid fans and all the fans in the world loved his soccer. His legacy will be eternal."

Modric also said goodbye to Real Madrid through his SNS. He said 'This time has come. It's the moment I never wanted, but this is football, everything in life has a beginning and an end'I'll play my last game at the Santiago Bernabeu this Saturday.

He came here in 2012 with the desire to do great things in the world wearing the best team uniform. But I didn't imagine what would come next. Playing for Real Madrid changed my life as a soccer player and person. I am proud to be part of one of the most successful eras of the best club in history'




Modric wants to thank Florentino Perez, my teammates, the coaches, and all the clubs who helped me. I played here and had amazing moments, seemingly impossible turnovers, finals, celebrations, and magical nights at the Bernabeu. We won every contest. I'm really happy ' But beyond winning and winning, I was loved by all Madrid fans. I don't know how to explain the special bond I have with you, and how to explain the support, respect, and love I felt. I will never forget all the gestures of affection and standing ovations you have shown.

Modric finally 'I leave with pride, gratitude, and memories. After the Club World Cup, I will no longer wear this uniform. I will always be a madrid style. We will see each other again and Real Madrid will always be my home. Hala Madrid' concludes the article.

Modric is a legend of Real Madrid that doesn't need an explanation. Modric left Tottenham for 35 million euros (about 51.5 billion won) in 2012 and moved to Real Madrid. Modric, who replaced his uniform from Dynamo Zagreb to Tottenham in 2008, quickly emerged as Tottenham's ace. Modric, who grew into the best midfielder in the English Premier League, joined the world's best club after receiving a love call from Real Madrid.




Modric also played a key role in Real Madrid, which has many of the world's best players. He played a whopping 590 games in 13 seasons. Even though I met numerous partners, I was always at the center of my waist. In particular, the combination of `Kcamo (Tony Cross-Casemiro)' centered on Modric during Real Madrid's third consecutive European Champions League defeat is considered the strongest midfielder in history compared to Barcelona's Xavi Hernandez-Andres Iniesta-Sergio Busquets trio.

Modric lifted a number of trophies. He has won six European Champions League titles alone. The six-time European Champions League championship is a milestone held by only five players in football history. Modric won a total of 28 championships in Real Madrid alone, including four Spanish Primera Liga wins, six Club World Cup wins, five UEFA Super Cup wins, two Copa del Rey wins, and five Supercopa de España wins.

Modric, who led such a record, became the player with the most titles in Real Madrid's club history.

His personal record is also spectacular. He was awarded the Ballon d'Or, given to the best player in the world, in 2018. Modric, who led Croatia to second place at the 2018 World Cup in Russia, succeeded in breaking the two-way system of the Ballon d'Or, which was divided by Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. In addition, he swept the 2018 FIFA The Best Men's Player Award and the UEFA Player of the Year Award. In name and reality, he was one of the few top stars to peak in the era of Menaldo. He has won numerous awards, including the FIFA FIFPro World Best 65 and the European Champions League Best Midfielder 2.

At first, Modric was likely to stay. Modric showed his desire to play more for Real Madrid. He said he would not only cut his salary but also take the role of a bench. Real Madrid also showed a forward-looking attitude toward Modric, who has performed unchanged this season. On top of that, coach Xavi Alonso, who is likely to be appointed to Real Madrid, also asked Modric to stay. A one-year extension was likely. There was even a sarcastic reaction that he is a player who will play for Real Madrid until the age of 50.

But the result was a breakup. Real Madrid, who stayed in the military last season, planned to open a new era. Without offering to renew the contract, I decided to break up with Modric. Real Madrid plans to recruit a new midfielder to work with young players such as Jude Bellingham, Federico Valverde, Eduardo Camavinga and Orelian Chouameni.
