“I feel happy and proud, I want to give everything for the club and I’m proud to continue wearing this shirt.

Confirming Modric’s new deal, Real Madrid are continuing to build their squad for the 2022/23 season, in which they’ll seek to defend their status as Spanish and European champions.

This development which comes after the club confirmed the signing of Antonio Rudier and Aurelien Tchoumeni, shows Real Madrid have taken another step towards finalising the squad that will work under Carlo Ancelotti next season.

According to reports by Spanish media, Madrid have always sought to extend the Croatian’s contract who has been instrumental to the dynamism experienced in Los Blancos midfielder.
