• 'Operation exit' The meeting between Zidane and Florentino

Real Madrid announced on Tuesday the renewal of

Luka Modric

, who will sign a contract until 2022, which will complete a decade at the white club.

The 35-year-old Croat ended his contract on June 30 and had received several offers, although his decision was always to continue in the team where he won the 2018 Ballon d'Or.

The great performance of Modric during the last season, where he participated in 35 league games and 12 of the Champions League, has ended up convincing

Florentino Pérez

.

Since his arrival in August 2012 from Tottenham, the midfielder has become an indispensable piece for a team with which he won four Champions League titles.

Throughout his nine seasons at Chamartín, Modric has played 391 games, in which he added 28 goals and 61 assists.

At the moment he occupies the fifth position in the ranking of foreign footballers with the most participations in Madrid, behind

Alfredo di Stéfano

(396),

Cristiano Ronaldo

(438),

Marcelo

(528) and

Karim Benzema

(559).

The Croatia captain's next goal will be the European Championship, where his team makes their debut against England on June 13 at Wembley.

The team led by

Zlatko Dalic

aims to match his best role in the tournament, where he reached the quarter-finals in 1996 and 2008.

As for the situation in Madrid, the situation of

Sergio Ramos

and

Lucas Vázquez

, who end their contract on June 30

, is still due

.

It will also be necessary to resolve the future of

Gareth Bale

, on loan from Tottenham since last September.
