Real Madrid's veteran midfielder Luka Modric is set to stay with the club for another season, as reported by AS. At 38 years old, the Croatian international is not planning to leave the "Los Blancos" this summer and is looking to extend his contract by one more year.

If this extension materializes, Modric will surpass Ferenc Puskas to become the oldest player in the club's history. This continuation is not just a testament to Modric's enduring quality and fitness but also reflects the immense trust and reliance Real Madrid places in his abilities, even as he approaches the later stages of his career.

Modric, who has been with Real Madrid since 2012, has been a pivotal player in the club's midfield, orchestrating play and contributing significantly both defensively and offensively. His technical skills, vision, and game intelligence have made him one of the top midfielders in the world.

Throughout his tenure at Madrid, Modric has helped the team secure numerous titles, including several UEFA Champions League trophies. His ability to perform in crucial matches and maintain high standards of play has endeared him to fans and critics alike.

The decision to extend his contract highlights Real Madrid's strategy of blending experienced players with young talent. Modric's presence in the team will not only continue to bring quality to the squad but also provide invaluable experience and mentorship to younger players transitioning into the first team.

As Modric prepares to enter another season with Real Madrid, the club and its fans will be hopeful that his experience and skill will continue to contribute significantly to their ambitions for more silverware.
