Luka Modric is Croatia’s most-capped player

Real Madrid’s Croatian midfielder Luka Modric has ended speculation over his future by agreeing a new one-year deal with the club.

The 35-year-old joined Real from Tottenham for £33m in August 2012.

He won the 2018 Ballon d’Or, becoming the first player other than Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo to claim the award in more than a decade.

Modric will captain Croatia at Euro 2020. They face England in their opening game at Wembley on 13 June.
