However, the club have now tied him down for another year after his impressive performances in the just-ended season.
Modric made 48 appearances during the 2020/21 campaign, scoring six goals and assisting a further six as Madrid finished the season without a title.

The 35-year-old joined Madrid from Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur in 2012 and has gone on to play a key role in the middle of the park for the Spanish side, chalking up much success including four UEFA Champions League titles as well as two league titles.
His contract extension will allow the club to pay attention to extending other departments other than the midfield when the transfer window opens in the coming weeks.
