Following an announcement of his new contract in the Spanish capital, Modric wrote “Home Sweet Home,” on Twitter.

He follows Toni Kroos, Dani Ceballos and Nacho Fernandez in extending their contracts with the club this summer and is still regarded as a key player for the 14-time European champions.
