Luka Modric to stay at Real Madrid for one more year
Xtra Time Web Desk: Luka Modric has signed a new one-year deal at Real Madrid and will spend a 10th season at the Bernabeu. The former Tottenham midfielder, who swapped White Hart Lane for the Bernabeu in 2012, has enjoyed a successful nine seasons thus far in the Spanish capital, winning 12 major honours for Los Blancos including four Champions League titles.
The veteran playmaker, 35, has played 48 times for Zinedine Zidane's side this season and has even featured in all four of Madrid's Champions League quarter-final and semi-final ties against Liverpool and Chelsea. The club confirmed the news of him extending his stay in an official statement on Tuesday, which read: "Real Madrid CF and Luka Modrić have agreed to extend the player's contract, which remains with the club until June 30, 2022."
Modric's campaign with Madrid was unsuccessful in comparison to previous years under Zidane, with the Spanish club having failed to win a trophy for the first time since the 2009/10 season as local rivals Atletico Madrid pipped them to the La Liga title and won the Spanish top-flight by a two-point margin. They were also knocked out of the Champions League by Chelsea.
