Luka Modrić will return to Los Blancos for the 2024-25 season after agreeing a new one-year deal.
According to Mario Cortegana of The Athletic, Modric has accepted a lower salary as part of his new deal after taking on more of a secondary role at the club this season.
The 38-year-old was called upon as a substitute during Real Madrid’s 2-0 triumph over Borussia Dortmund on Saturday in the Champions League final, winning his sixth UCL title in the process.
Teammates Toni Kroos, Dani Carvajal and Nacho have been along for every one of those rides with Modrić and Los Blancos, with the trio now tied with former Real Madrid great Paco Gento for the most in history. Modrić, per Cortegana, is keen to surpass that mark.
Kroos is not, as he announced on Saturday that he will retire after the Euros this summer.
Nacho’s future at the club is currently unknown, while it is reported that fullback Lucas Vázquez is set to sign a new deal and return to the club.
