Amidst months of speculation over his future, Luka Modric has reportedly expressed his desire to remain at Real Madrid for the upcoming season, as reported by ESPANa.
The 38-year-old Croatian, whose contract expires in the summer, was previously linked with a potential exit due to a perceived loss of his starting role. However, recent reports suggest a change in stance.
On Monday morning, news surfaced indicating that Modric is open to extending his stay at Los Blancos, a sentiment echoed by Marca.
It's believed that Modric recognizes his value to the team, even if he's not a regular starter, and is willing to accept a reduced role if it guarantees his importance within the squad.
However, despite Modric's willingness to continue his journey with Real Madrid, the club is yet to initiate discussions regarding his future.
The Croatian midfielder is reportedly awaiting a meeting with the club's management to clarify his role for the upcoming season.
Should Modric decide to explore other options, he won't be short of suitors, with interest reportedly coming from Dinamo Zagreb and Saudi Arabia.
Despite being Real Madrid's 13th most-used player this season, Modric has proven his worth as a valuable asset, particularly in high-profile fixtures like El Clasico, where he showcased no signs of decline.
With the race for trophies heating up, Modric's potential decision to stay could provide a significant boost to Real Madrid's midfield stability and experience.
