Real Madrids Croatian midfielder Luka Modric said Thursday he would leave the Spanish giants after the Club World Cup this summer.
Everything in life has a start and an end on Saturday I will play my last match at the Santiago Bernabeu, said Modric, 39, in a post on Instagram, as he reaches the end of his contract with Los Blancos.
Im leaving with a full heart, filled with pride, gratitude and unforgettable memories.
And even though, after the Club World Cup, Im no longer going to wear this shirt on the pitch, I will always be a Madrid fan.
The Croatian has played nearly 600 games for Real Madrid since joining from Tottenham in 2012, winning six Champions League and four La Liga titles among other trophies.
