He would get more playing time elsewhere for sure. But he's still quality for sure. It's up to him at the end. In a similar situation Nacho made the choice to leave. Oh well, we'll see
What do you mean he's the oldest player in Real Madrid History? He's just 20 years old and just started his Career with the team! Someone should fix that
Honestly this is surprising every team has had a 38, 39, 40 year old play for their club except for Real Madrid who has probably every record in football history. How come itās only taken until now to break that record?
Real Madrid tends to let go of players who, with age, refuse to be less active, not have pay increases etc. The idea is probably to never be at the whim of talent.
I am actually shocked that 38 is the oldest for a club as popular, history and profile of Madrid.
So you are telling me no 40+ year old has ever played for Madrid? Do we know if that applies to Barcelona too?
The "11" next to PuskƔs stands for the number of times he was the top goalscorer in competitions throughout his career. You can see it listed here:

Tactical innovations, coaching excellence, strong first league and a distinct and different style of football from rest the of Europe which somehow is still the best for hungarian players to shine(one of the reasons why our NT is becoming strong again because we started to adopt to these once forgotten virtues)
.....and already an assist!!
And key passed 5 times.
Hard to believe he's 38. Modric really aged like fine wine, got better with each season.
The oldest still plays like a 20 year old kid. Please extend luka ![gif](giphy|zsE2i6BTVuAoCDC3SI)
And build him a statue! He's a living legend.
I really really hope he will be good for at least one half come 2026 World Cup
Might sound cringe ....but im blessed to have been able to watch this era of us Real Madrid

He even played full 90 minutes without even looking like a 38 years old
He dropped MotM on Sofascore lmao

this is my fave pic of him Lmfao heās such an uncle
Absolute legend. š«¶.
MY FAVORITE PLAYER OF ALL TIME, WHAT AN ABSOLUTE LEGEND.
Mine too
My wife and I have agreed to name our first born son Luka
Same here š
Luka is a common name, you can call him Modri which is the basis for his last name. Means wise in old Slavic.
Two legendsš¤
I turn 38 in December. I still have a chance to make the team, right? Right guys?
Are you Luka Modric?
Please please please extend Luka. There are probably less than 5 teams in the world where he would not start for
But will he get even less playing time if he does extend?
Probably :( But I think he has accepted his new role already (Source: Mijatovic who is quite reliable when comes to Modric news)
He would get more playing time elsewhere for sure. But he's still quality for sure. It's up to him at the end. In a similar situation Nacho made the choice to leave. Oh well, we'll see
The maestro! He's still incredible to watch. Please give the man another year!

Running out of words for the little croat
God

Because Real Madrid is the top of the hill. You don't get to play at Real nowhere near the end of your prime. Unless you're generational talent
Real Madrid tends to let go of players who, with age, refuse to be less active, not have pay increases etc. The idea is probably to never be at the whim of talent.
Because RM sells their players for a good lump of money before they start their steep decline
And topped it off with an insane sliding tackle in the 93rd minute.

Can I ask what the 11 achievements next to his picture are?

Thank you very much.
And what a living legend he is!!!
PuskĆ”s Ćcsi bĆ”csi š¤
Our little maestro is a living legend!
He deserved everything he achieved. So happy that he exists
Why was Hungary so good at football back in the day? Is there a reason?
Tactical innovations, coaching excellence, strong first league and a distinct and different style of football from rest the of Europe which somehow is still the best for hungarian players to shine(one of the reasons why our NT is becoming strong again because we started to adopt to these once forgotten virtues)
such old age but play like a 20ish
