Despite spending much of last season on the bench, the 38-year-old Croatian has opted to stay with the Spanish giants.
Renowned football insider Fabrizio Romano confirmed Modric’s decision, noting that the midfielder will meet with Real Madrid president Florentino Perez to complete the deal soon.
Modric’s choice to remain comes as his teammate Toni Kroos prepares to hang up his boots after Real Madrid’s recent Champions League triumph over Borussia Dortmund.

Even though Modric may not start every game, his experience and leadership are set to be crucial for Carlo Ancelotti’s team, providing depth and guidance when needed.
Reports suggest that Modric showcased his enduring quality last season, making significant impacts whenever called upon despite limited playing time.
Following the contract extension, Modric is anticipated to link up with the Croatian national team for the upcoming European tournament, where his presence will undoubtedly be felt both on and off the pitch.
