(Football News) Luka Modric is expected to sign a new Real Madrid contract till 2024. The Croatian has publicly said multiple times that he wants to stay despite interest from Saudi Arabian clubs among others. Real Madrid reciprocated as they also reportedly wanted him to continue for at least another. In the last couple of weeks, there have been doubts with the arrival of Jude Bellingham along with an increased bid from Saudi clubs. However, it is now being reported that Luka Modric has already signed a one-year contract. Next season will be Luka Modric’s 12th season at the club and he will also be the vice-captain with Nacho as the club captain.

Real Madrid’s decision-makers have been very busy in the past couple of months. Karim Benzema, Marco Asensio, Eden Hazard, and Mariano have left the club. Fran Garcia and Brahim Diaz have been added to the side while Jude Bellingham’s arrival is expected to be made official in the coming days. Nacho has confirmed that he will sign a one-year extension that will keep him at the club till 2024. Toni Kroos is expected to stay and only the official announcement is pending. Dani Ceballos is also closer to staying than leaving even though there is no confirmation.

Real Madrid’s midfield will be stacked next season with 7 world-class options. Youngsters Eduardo Camavinga, Fede Valverde, Aurélien Tchouaméni, and Jude Bellingham along with Veterans Toni Kroos and Luka Modric will run the show. Dani Ceballos is another solid squad player to have as he has proved his worth with some great performances this season. The one where they need to strengthen is the attack. Vinicius, Rodrygo, and Brahim Diaz are the only 3 forwards, so they will need two strikers and a winger.
