"Modric maintains his stance that he will continue playing for Real Madrid until the end of his career. The 37-year-old midfielder has just rejected a third offer from Al-Hilal, offering a three-year contract and a salary increase of a total of 200 million euros," said journalist Gianluca Di Marzio of Sky Sport.
Modric wants to end his career at Real Madrid
Modric and Toni Kroos (33 years old) are two veteran players whose contracts with Real Madrid will expire on June 30. They have been rewarded by the Spanish Royal team with a new contract for another season until June 2024. Negotiations for this extension have been completed. However, Real Madrid President Florentino Perez still leaves open the possibility for these players to decide whether to stay or leave if they receive a more generous offer. Similar to the case of striker Karim Benzema to Al-Ittihad Club.
However, so far Modric and Kroos both want to stay at Real Madrid, regardless of the upcoming 2023-2024 season, there are many predictions that they will no longer play a major role with the presence of Jude Bellingham. In addition, Eduardo Camavinga also returns to the central midfield position with Lucas Vazquez and Aurelien Tchouameni.

"The experience and talent of Modric and Kroos are unquestionable. They still play a big role in Real Madrid's style of play. I will always be happy to have such classy players in my squad," coach Carlo Ancelotti once shared.
It was coach Carlo Ancelotti's absolute trust that led to Modric's decision to stay at Real Madrid despite very generous offers from Al-Hilal Club in Saudi Arabia.
Modric will play with Croatia in the UEFA Nations League final against Spain at 1:45 a.m. tomorrow, June 19. If he wins, it will be Modric's first major title for Croatia after finishing runner-up at the 2018 World Cup and third in 2022.
