Real Madrid midfielder Luka Modric has revealed he could play professional football till he clocks 40. The 36-year old was recently quizzed at a press conference about his career, and he stated that he hasn’t decided yet about retirement.
“I don’t know when I’ll keep playing until, maybe about 40, we’ll see. I have to take it step-by-step, enjoy what I’m doing. I feel good physically, which is important, mentally as well. I’m at a huge club, the best club in the world, without a doubt, and I’m working hard to keep my level as high as possible. We’ll see how long it is, but talking about years is difficult. I’m almost 37 and I feel great, to be honest.” Modric said.
Luka Modric moved from Tottenham in England to Spain to join Real Madrid in 2012 in a deal worth £30M winning his first trophy for the club just a few days later with the Super Copa De Espana. He has since gone on to win sixteen more titles, including the La Liga on two occasions in 2017 and 2020.
