The state of euphoria rules in and around the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium these days. Yesterday, Real Madrid presented Kylian Mbappe in a spectacular way, and today they announced that they resolved another big issue – the stay of Luka Modrić.It was not much of a question in the previous weeks, today he was only confirmed and the Croatian national team player will defend the colors of the Royal Club for another year with the captain’s armband around his arm. For a long time, they discussed at the Bernabeu whether to continue cooperation with the 38-year-old midfielder. Coach Carlo Ancelotti reportedly offered him a place in his coaching staff at first, but Toni Kroos’ decision to retire this summer changed the 15-time European champion’s plans.##NAJAVA_MECA_8219289##The loss of two midfielders who were synonymous with Real’s success in previous years would be too much of a blow for the team, so they decided to keep Modrić in the team for another year, especially since Dani Ceballos is also dissatisfied with his role and announces his departure from the club, which would make the rotation in the midfield further narrowed.Thus, Modrić will have the opportunity to enter the 10 players with the most appearances for Los Blancos in the upcoming season. He is currently in 13th place with 534 games, and in front of him are Guti, Michel, Paco Gento and Marcelo, who have eight, nine, ten and twelve more matches respectively for the Blancos. Jose Antonio Camacho is by no means unattainable either, in eighth place with 550…Modrić arrived at Real Madrid from Tottenham in the summer of 2012 for 35,000,000 euros, and in the previous 12 seasons with the Spanish giant, he won 26 trophies, six of which were in the Champions League.Mi casa. Mi club. Feliz de seguir jugando en el mejor club del mundo. 🤍🤍 #HalaMadrid pic.twitter.com/BsNvVKu6k5— Luka Modrić (@lukamodric10) July 17, 2024
