Fresh update on Luka Modric contract extension at Real Madrid — only one thing missing

Real Madrid and Luka Modric have reached an agreement for a new contract next season, multiple sources say.

Modric agreed two things before the deal was brokered — a reduced role in the team next season and a lower salary, according to the reliable Matteo Morretto.

The only thing missing for the veteran midfielder to sign the new contract is his signature.

Thus, the coming season will be Modric's last one at Real Madrid. He could also retire from football afterwards.

Modric played 44 games for Real Madrid this season scoring twice and recording eight assists. He may not play that many games next term but he remains a legend at the club.
