Midfield Maestro Confirms Departure with Heartfelt Message to Fans
In a move that has sent shockwaves through the football world, Real Madrid legend Luka Modric has announced his departure from the club after 12 unforgettable years. The 39-year-old Croatian playmaker confirmed the news in a touching Instagram post, marking the end of an era for one of the most decorated midfielders in the club’s history.
Despite his desire to stay until at least the 2026 World Cup, Modric revealed that Real Madrid chose not to renew his contract, signaling a shift toward a younger generation under a new manager. His farewell message, filled with gratitude and nostalgia, left fans emotional as he reflected on his journey from an ambitious signing in 2012 to a club icon.

“The time has come,” Modric wrote. “The time I never wanted to come, but that’s football. Everything has a beginning and an end.” He confirmed that his final appearance at the Santiago Bernabéu will come this Saturday, closing a chapter defined by historic comebacks, Champions League glory, and an unbreakable bond with the fans.
Modric, who joined from Tottenham in 2012, admitted he never imagined the success that would follow. “Playing for Real Madrid changed my life,” he said. “I’m proud to have been part of one of the most successful eras of the best club in history.”
The Ballon d’Or winner thanked president Florentino Pérez, teammates, coaches, and supporters, calling the fans’ affection “something I can’t fully explain.” He reminisced about “magical nights at the Bernabéu” and the joy of winning “everything.”
Though his time on the pitch as a Madridista is ending, Modric made it clear: “Real Madrid will always be my home. Hala Madrid, and nothing else.”
As tributes pour in from across the football world, Modric’s legacy remains untouchable—a maestro who orchestrated greatness and left with his heart full.
