It is not a secret that player’s loyalty is nowadays into question quite often, everyone is searching for new challenges that could improve their skills and get more money, but two Real Madrid legends have decided to stay with their team. The Duo, who have formed an important part of the recent success of the side, have now signed contract extensions to remain loyal to the white shirt and continue to chase future successes.
Modric: Madrid’s Midfield Maestro’s Encore
It’s not your typical implore to start yelling at clouds; no, for Luka Modric still has the passion to play the beautiful game at 38 for at least two more years. The Croatian wizard has agreed to a new one-year deal with Real Madrid but warned that his pockets, although slightly thinner will be less fat. But who requires cash when you have accolades the likes of which can easily compete with even the Queen’s crown?
??? Luka Modri? stays at Real Madrid as he will sign new deal next week — here we go, confirmed.
Final meeting will Florentino Pérez will be exactly as expected: put pen to paper, take pictures, then announce it.

Modric is to remain as he still has lots to contribute after featuring less of a dynamic role – from the bench this season as a more experienced master guiding apprentices. But when he is pressed on, he has demonstrated that he is capable of playing the midfield on overdrive like the puppet master!
Vazquez: The Unsung Hero’s New Chapter
Meanwhile, Lucas Vazquez, the man who bleeds white (and occasionally red when he’s putting in a shift), is also set to sign on the dotted line for another year. The 32-year-old full-back has been a loyal servant to Real Madrid since breaking into the first team in 2015, and he’s not about to abandon ship now.
??? Lucas Vázquez and Real Madrid have reached total agreement on new contract valid until June 2025.
Final meeting expected to fix details and sign the contract, same as Luka Modri?.

Vazquez’s versatility and professionalism have made him a valuable asset to the squad, even if he doesn’t grab the headlines like some of his more illustrious teammates. He’s the kind of player who would run through a brick wall for the cause, and then apologize to the wall afterward.
The Quest for More Silverware
Real Madrid will be aiming to continue their influx of glittering silverware with Modric and Vazquez in the team next season. The two players have been very vital members of the team’s success stories of the past seasons, having each clinched 26 career titles on the field.
However, Modric in particular fails to stay unsaturated as he has his eyes set on the bigger pie. The playmaker is hell-bent on outstripping the records set by the great Paco Gento of winning at least six UEFA Champions League/European Cups. And considering what Real Madrid has always been about, in terms of success in the competition, you would not be wrong to bet that he could well do it.
They will not, however, be lacking in the opportunities to encounter some ordeals on the journey. Teams like FC Barcelona and Atletico Madrid will be eyeing to dethrone Real Madrid, while the “Mbappé 2025” issue may overshadow all other events. However, with Modric and Vazquez in the team’s plans, Los Blancos are well-Mbappeequipped to make some further improvements.
Well, I think that is pretty well, folks. We must note that two Real Madrid legends are to keep their love affair with this club for yet another season. Often – but not always – they are not getting younger, and still, they have much to give, even if ‘captive’ in an asylum. Anticipated by the saying ‘Age does not matter,’ both Modric and Vazquez are prepared to position it at the forefront once more.
