Croatian midfielder Luka Modric bid a heartfelt farewell to Real Madrid on Saturday night, sharing ten images from his decorated career in white while asserting it was merely "a see you later".
Modric officially concluded his time as a Madrid player this Saturday. The Zadar-born midfielder, having last worn the white shirt at the Club World Cup, took to Instagram to express his heartfelt gratitude to a club where he is a legend.
"My home for 13 years. My home forever. This is not a goodbye, it is a see you later," the Croatian wrote, accompanying the message with ten images chronicling his Merengue career. His achievements include 28 titles – making him the most decorated player in the club's history – along with 597 matches, 43 goals, and 91 assists across 13 seasons.
Following his final appearance against PSG and farewell to the Madrid faithful, the Croatian is now poised for a new challenge in his career. Reports widely suggest a move to Milan. Indeed, Massimiliano Allegri, in his unveiling as the new Rossoneri coach, has already confirmed the midfielder's signing.
At 39, Modric is entering the twilight of his career, with his primary objective being participation in the next World Cup. His appearance at that tournament could mark the culmination of his playing career. What comes next for him? Only he knows.
