It’s official. Real Madrid legend Luka Modric will leave the club after the FIFA Club World Cup. The midfielder confirmed that decision on his Social Media.
Dear Madridistas,
The moment has come. The moment I never wanted to arrive, but that’s football — and in life, everything has a beginning and an end… On Saturday, I’ll play my final match at the Santiago Bernabéu.
I arrived in 2012 with the dream of wearing the shirt of the best club in the world and the ambition to achieve great things, but I could never have imagined what was to come.
Playing for Real Madrid changed my life, both as a footballer and as a person.
I’m proud to have been part of one of the most successful eras in the history of the greatest club.
I want to sincerely thank the club, especially President Florentino Pérez, my teammates, coaches, and everyone who has supported me throughout all these years.
Over this time, I’ve experienced incredible moments — comebacks that seemed impossible, finals, celebrations, and magical nights at the Bernabéu… We’ve won everything, and I’ve been truly happy. Very, very happy.
But beyond the trophies and the victories, what I carry in my heart is the love of all the Madridistas. I honestly don’t know how to explain the special connection I feel with you and how supported, respected, and loved I’ve felt and still feel. I’ll never forget every ovation and every act of affection you’ve shown me.
I leave with my heart full. Full of pride, gratitude, and unforgettable memories. And even though, after the Club World Cup, I won’t wear this jersey on the pitch again, I will always be a Madridista.
We’ll see each other again. Real Madrid will always be my home. For life.
Hala Madrid y Nada Más.
Luka Modrić.
