Real Madrid unveils its decision on Luka Modric

Emilio Butragueno appeared to confirm that Luka Modric will sign a new contract at Real Madrid following their win over Alaves on Saturday, Report says.

MARCA has already broken the news that the Croatian will sign a new one-year deal at the Estadio Santiago Bernbeu, but there is yet to be an official announcement by the club.

"There are players like Modric who make this sport better," Real Madrid director Butragueno said after the win over Alaves.
"His pass to [Ferland] Mendy in the first half was a fine thing. It's a luxury for us to have him.

"He's given us so much; he's still giving us so much, and he'll continue to do so."

Zinedine Zidane was absent from the dugout at Mendizorroza following a positive COVID-19 test. The Frenchman has been under pressure of late after losses to Athletic Club and Alcoyano.
