🤍 Luka Modrić: 'Real Madrid is my home, the club of my life. My biggest dream is to retire here.'

Real Madrid x Champions League. ✨

✅️🇭🇷 Luka Modrić is close to extending his contract for another season at Real Madrid. Miguel Ángel Díaz

4 days until the Champions League final. 🤍

🗣️ Ancelotti: “El Chiringuito? I can watch. Sometimes after a game, I can’t sleep. Then I put El Chiringuito on and I sleep well (laughs).”

🚨 Nacho: “Being captain or winning the Champions League won’t change my decision.

I have made my decision.” Radioestadio Noche

🚨 Nacho: “Being captain is very special; this season has been a 10/10 for everything I have had to experience.

Nothing more that is going to happen is going to change my decision. I have made it.”

🚨 Nacho: “I have decided what I am going to do when the season ends but I am not going to say it, it is not the day, it is not the time.”

Do you know El Chiringuito?

🗣️ Ancelotti: 'Yes. It makes me sleep (laughs).'

🗣 Luka Modrić: 'My family and I are very happy in Madrid, we have our lives here, our friends. We will always be grateful for the love the Madridistas show us. This is the best thing that could happen to a player. My family is a very important factor in my decisions.'

🗣 Luka Modrić: 'If Barcelona would want to sign my daughter? She decides (laughs), it would depend on her, but I don't think she will want that. She's playing at a good team now. I like her a lot.'

🗣 Luka Modrić: 'The rumours of being in the staff? I don't know where it comes from but no, no assistant, no 2nd coach. I'm still a player, that's what I want to do, I want to play.'

🗣 Luka Modrić: 'My family plays a huge part in my decision, what my wife thinks, my children, we always talk at home. We will live here in Madrid after retirement.'

🗣 Luka Modrić: 'What my daughter tells me? She loves football, she plays, she's very good but she's still too young for Real Madrid.'

🗣 Luka Modrić: 'Retirement? I can't say when, I have to see how I feel, but right now, I feel so good physically that I'm sure I can still play elite football. Don't look at the age.'

🗣 Luka Modrić: 'Ballon D'Or? Someone of Real Madrid surely (laughs). The favourites are Vinicius, Bellingham and Kroos. I would like Toni to win it, he's my friend.'

🗣 Luka Modrić: 'Before the final? I don't eat salmon like Carlo (laughs). Pasta and chicken for me. Then I sleep.'

🗣 Luka Modrić: 'People think we will win easily against Dortmund but it's not like this. Look what happened with Leverkusen and Atalanta, or City and United. We have to prepare the final very well and play our best game.'

🗣 Luka Modrić: 'What Florentino tells me? That I'm very good (laughs), and I say the same to him. Our relationship is very good, I love him.'

🗣 Luka Modrić: 'I have always said I want to retire at Real Madrid, this is what I really want but I can't know what will happen next year. This would be a dream, this is my home, the club of my life. I want a farewell like Toni Kroos.'
