On July 22, Real Madrid legend Mijatović suggested that Luka Modrić should retire, stating that he should recognize that his prime has ended.
Luka Modrić renewed his contract with Real Madrid for another year, which will expire at the end of June 2025. During the 2024-25 season, Modrić will continue to play for the Galácticos.
Mijatović, when talking about Modrić, said: “This summer, Modrić received many offers, including from Saudi Arabia, but he rejected them all and chose to stay at Real Madrid. However, in the Real Madrid squad, Modrić no longer possesses the ability to start regularly, and he should have realized this clearly last season.”
Mijatović advised Modrić to consider retirement soon: “He is about to turn 39, and I think it’s time for him to consider retiring. Modrić needs to realize that his prime as a player has come to an end.”
In the 2023-24 season, Modrić helped Real Madrid win the La Liga and Champions League titles, achieving a double. This summer, Modrić led Croatia into the European Championship, but the team was eliminated in the group stage.
