Luka Modric taunts Kylian Mbappe over contract extension

Real Madrid is prepared for Modric’s stay for one more year at the club as the midfielder is anticipated to sign until 2024 to continue his tremendous form.

Former Ballon d’Or winner Luka Modric taunts Kylian Mbappe over contract extension talks. The Real Madrid midfielder is due to prolong his deal with the club and is scheduled to sign it until 2023 after the UEFA Champions League final. The player says he won’t do it like Mbappe, with context to how the PSG striker ditched the Spanish club at the last moment.

The 23-year-old from France, Mbappe was a long term interest for Real Madrid and the club were confident enough to have the player signed in Spain this summer. Mbappe’s contract extension with home club Paris Saint-Germain shocked everyone as he chose to not join the 13-times European champions this summer and extended for the Ligue 1 side until 2025. Modric is also running out of contract and the player said, “I have not extended my contract with Real Madrid yet…but I won’t do like Mbappe (laughs),” he told El Partidazo de COPE, as reported by Fabrizio Romano. “And I hope the club won’t do that to me,” he further said.
