“Better go to MLS” – Luka Modric expressing his desire to stay at Real Madrid sparks WILD reactions on social media

Luka Modric is undoubtedly one of the best midfielders of his generation. The Croatian magician has weaved magic in the heart of Madrid’s midfield since 2012.

After almost 12 years and several titles later, the time has finally come for the player to leave the Santiago Bernabeu. Several reports state that the player will leave the club at the end of the season.

However, Modric himself is contemplating on extending his stay, with the player having already expressed his desire to sign a new deal. The 38-year-old’s current contract expires on June 30 and with age catching up to the player, many believe that the club will let him go. However, Modric is so keen on staying at Real Madrid that he rejected two major offers from other clubs.

With the arrival of Aurelien Tchouaméni and Eduardo Camavinga, Modric and midfield partner Toni Kroos have been relegated to a position on the bench.

The 2018 Ballon d’Or winner has made 42 appearances in all competitions this season, while also grabbing two goals and 6 assists in the process.

Fans react to Luka Modric wanting to extend his contract with Madrid at the age of 38

Luka Modric‘s contribution to Real Madrid cannot be understated. The No. 10 has won four La Liga titles and five UEFA Champions Leagues with Real, with the numbers only likely to go up as Real find themselves in the final of the UCL against Borussia Dortmund. A fan commented that Modric should quickly leave to to play in the MLS and that his plan to win titles from the bench won’t work.

Another claimed that he should be allowed to stay given that he is a Real Madrid legend. In response to the same, another supporter wanted him to leave given his age and to allow young talent to come up in the squad. Some were convinced that Modric has to leave in order to accommodate Kylian Mbappe and give him the No. 10 jersey.

Rival fans and Barcelona supporters in particular pointed out how Real are ruthless when it comes to doing business while Barca are set to renew Sergi Roberto‘s contract yet again. A fan wanted to see atleast one season of Kylian Mbappe playing alongside the Croatian legend. Many wanted the club to hand Modric a lifetime contract, saying he deserves to stay as long as he wants to for his contributions.
