The end of an era! Luka Modric in his final months at Real Madrid as midfielder told he will not be given a new contract

The 2018 Ballon d'Or winner is considered one of the greatest midfielders of all time having helped Los Blancos to a host of trophies since his move to the club from Tottenham in 2012. The time is now rolling to an end as per <a href="https://www.sport.es/es/noticias/real-madrid/madrid-dara-portazo-modric-95892241" target="_blank">Sport</a>. The report has suggested that the club and player have come to terms that a new contract will not be signed and the Croat will be allowed to leave the club in the summer.

WHAT HAPPENED?

It has been reported throughout the season that the 38-year-old has been disappointed with Carlo Ancelotti due to a lack of playing time. Since then Modric has been linked with multiple clubs including a move to Lionel Messi's Inter Miami and a reunion with Cristiano Ronaldo in the Saudi Pro League.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

The midfield maestro became the first player to break Messi and Ronaldo's grip on the Ballon d'Or when he won it in 2018 for his scintillating performances with Real Madrid and leading his country to their first World Cup final. The run of wins for the Argentine-Portuguese duo began in 2008 with Ronaldo's win.

DID YOU KNOW?

The former Tottenham Hotspur star will next be in action when Real Madrid return to league action against Villarreal on Sunday, December 17, however, he is likely to be benched yet again.
