Luka Modric was still hungry for title with Real Madrid. Linked to Casa Blanca until the end of the season, the 39 -year -old Croatian midfielder did not imagine leaving Spain.

Unfortunately for him, the new strong man from Real Madrid told him that he was no longer counting on him. After 6 champions leagues, 91 goals and 140 assists in 848 matches, Modric announced his departure from Madrid on May 22.
“Time has come. The moment that I would never have wanted to see arriving, but it is football, and in life, everything has a start and an end … Saturday (May 24 against Real Sociedad), I will play my last match at Santiago Bernabéu. I arrived in 2012 with the hope of wearing the jersey for the best team in the world and the ambition to do great things, but I could not have imagined what was going to follow. Playing for Real Madrid changed my life as a footballer and a person. I am proud to have been part of one of the most successful eras of the best club in history ”.
