When Luka Modric’s new contract expires on June 30, 2022, the Croatian will turn 36 years, nine months and 21 days, making him the seventh oldest player in Real Madrid history.
It is a dream come true for Modric, who wants to continue extending his contract, since his body allows him to continue playing, as he has been up to now.
The former Tottenham player has always said that he wants to retire at Real Madrid and that means at least one more contract renewal.
He wants to play in the Qatar World Cup in November 2022, which means that he will need a club for 2022/23 that will allow him to stay in shape and he hopes that club will be Real Madrid.
But, if not, he would become the seventh oldest player in the club.
The oldest is Ferenc Puskas, who played his last game at 39 years, one month and seven days old, being the player closest to 40.
Later, Paco Buyo played at the age of 38 years, two months and three days and Jerzy Dudek played at 38 years, one month and 24 days, all retired at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium.
The fourth oldest is a club legend, Alfredo di Stefano, who did not retire at Real Madrid but played his last game at the age of 37 years, 10 months and 23 days, just ahead of Paco Gento at 37. and seven months. .
Outside of the top five, Miguel Ángel was fired at 37 years, five months and seven days.
Modric will be nearly 37 when his contact ends and will be the fourth-oldest outfield player behind Puskas, Gento and Di Stefano.
