MADRID (SPAIN) (ITALPRESS) – “The moment has come. A moment that I never wanted to come but football is like that”. After the rumors that appeared in the Spanish media, here is the confirmation: Luka Modric will not wear the Real Madrid jersey next season.
Arriving in 2012 from Tottenham, the 39-year-old Croatian midfielder confirms on social media that on Saturday, against Real Sociedad, he will play his last match at the Bernabeu while his farewell to the blancos will come after the Club World Cup.
“In life, everything has a beginning and an end – he writes – Playing here has changed my life, as a footballer and as a person. I am proud to have been part of one of the most successful periods of the best club in history. I leave with a heart full of pride, gratitude, indelible memories. And even if after the Club World Cup I will no longer wear this shirt on the pitch, I will always be a Madridista. Real will always be my home. For life”. For Modric, 28 trophies won in Madrid, including six Champions Leagues, collecting 590 appearances to date.
