Veteran Real Madrid midfielder Luka Modric wants to stay at Real Madrid despite his side’s links to Borussia Dortmund wonder kid Jude Bellingham.
The 37-year-old, who has won five Champions League trophies and three Spanish league titles since joining Real Madrid from Tottenham eleven years ago, signed a one-year extension with the Spanish champions at the end of last season.
But he is approaching the end of his contract and still needs to determine whether this will be his last season with the La Liga club, especially considering his age.

Speaking about his future, the veteran midfielder revealed he hasn’t spoken to Madrid about an extension, even if he wants to remain at the club.
“About my new contract, I can’t tell you anything about it as I’ve not spoken to the club yet,” said the Croatia international.
“You don’t have these conversations mid-season. I’m very relaxed. I’m not annoyed by it whatsoever.
“It’s a bit boring getting asked that question because it’s the same answer. I want to carry on here, I want to stay, I feel good, and I want to continue as part of Real Madrid.
“I’d like to deserve to stay on my own merit, not that someone gives it on a freebie.
“No one has given me anything for free in my career, and I don’t want that to happen now.
