The 36-year-old midfielder remains at the top of his game and is a key part of Real Madrid’s core trident, along with Toni Kroos and Casemiro.

So far this season in all competitions, Modric has made 26 appearances and has been in great form with no sign of slowing down.

When asked about his thoughts on retirement, Modric said he has no plans for now and is taking it season by season and contract by contract.

“It could be 40, or more, or less. Let’s see,” the Croatian told Mundo Deportivo. “I have to go little by little, to enjoy what I am doing.

“I feel good physically. That is important, mentally also. I am at a very big club and the best club in the world without doubt, and I am working to keep this level as much as possible.”

The midfielders contract runs until the end of the season but Real Madrid are likely to give him a new deal as Modric’s quality still puts him among the best midfielders in world football.
