Luka Modrić, the Croatian midfielder, has announced that he will be playing his final match at the Santiago Bernabéu on Saturday. In a letter to Real Madrid fans, Modrić stated that the time had come for him to bid farewell to the stadium. The 39-year-old arrived at Real Madrid in 2012, and has since become a key player for the club, known for his exceptional passing ability and vision on the pitch.
Modrić’s playing style is characterised by his technical skill and ability to control the tempo of the game. Throughout his career, he has played for several clubs, including Dinamo Zagreb and Tottenham Hotspur, before joining Real Madrid. According to his letter, Modrić’s last match at the Santiago Bernabéu will mark the end of an era for the midfielder at the club.
Modrić’s future plans beyond his football career have been subject to recent developments, with reports emerging that he is set to become a minority owner of Swansea City, a Welsh football club. This move is expected to take place after his retirement from professional football.
