MODRIC WANTS TO RETIRE AT MADRID

The Croatian is delighted to extend stay at "the best club in the world" and feels he can continue to contribute for many more years before hanging up his boots there. Luka Modric hopes his latest Real Madrid contract renewal is not his last and he expressed to retire at the Santiago Bernabeu.  The Croatian midfield maestro recently extended his stay with the La-Liga giants until June 2020 on Tuesday, by which time he will be 34. Modric who joined from Tottenham Hotspurs in 2012, overcame a difficult start to his career in Spain to develop into a key figure at Madrid. And the 31-year old believes he still has plenty left to offer the current European Champions. I hope it is not my last contract renewal. "My ultimate desire is to retire at Real Madrid and with this renewal, i am closer to that challenge,"Modric said at a news conference. "But it depends on many things. How  i feel, what i contribute to the team..."But my idea is to retire here. I feel very happy and excited to renew with Real Madrid the best club in the world. I want to thank the club and the president for the confidence they have shown in me and i hope to be able to justify it, and continue to make the fans happy," he concluded.
