Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti has disclosed that Luka Modric will end his football career at Santiago Bernabeu.

The veteran comes off contract this summer.

But Ancelotti says: “Luka will end his career at Madrid. I don’t know when that will be.

“That’s the idea we’ve all got. There are no issues between us, the club and himself in terms of his renewal.

“It’s all pretty clear. He really looks after himself and hasn’t had any major injury issues. That’s really helped him out.

“He’s a legend of the game, just like Maldini, who won his last Champions League title at the age of 40.

“His quality, discipline and the way in which he understands the game allows me to compare him with Maldini. They’re legends of the game.”
