Mijatovic's Revelation That Breaks Madridists' Hearts, Goodbye to Luka Modric

One of the key figures at Real Madrid in recent hours is Luka Modric. Thanks to his stunning goal against Girona, everyone is talking about the future of the Zadar genius in Santiago Bernabéu locker room... after such notable milestones as Toni Kroos's retirement.

However, the proximity of the 2026 United States World Cup suggests that his journey with the white team will extend, according to some media and journalists, until the 25/26 season. The possibility of playing his last international tournament with Croatia is getting closer, something compatible with his new role as a substitute in the current sports project.

One of the latest to comment on the plans Luka Modric might have for the final stage of his extensive sports career is Pedja Mijatovic, a former white player. The friend of the Balkan midfielder has no doubts: "to stay one more year, Luka would be willing to pay". Such a statement on 'El Cafelito,' presented by Josep Pedrerol, would extend the possibility of Luka Modric wearing the white '10' for another season.

Despite everything, Mijatovic makes it clear that it is not a reality: "I have that feeling". At the same time, he reveals something that is becoming more known: "his idea is to play in the World Cup with his national team", a tournament scheduled for the summer of 2026. "That's already next year, so he needs one more year of playing, and if it's here, well, imagine", reveals the former merengue midfielder.

"I'll stay one more year here. I already know I'm not going to play, but what I play, I'll fulfill, and look, he's proving it", concludes Pedja Mijatovic. His close relationship with the Zadar genius has left some questions on the table, especially in the negotiations for his successive renewals and his possible departure from the merengue team.

Mijatovic, however, claims he does "consulting," stating that "I help footballers". He also recalls that he informed Luka Modric of an offer from Saudi Arabia "two years ago. But he says there 'no, well, I want to stay'."

The resolution of the Croatian '10' regarding his future at the white club, when everything seemed set for his definitive farewell, surprised Mijatovic himself. "It was a bit like giving up so much money at such an age after winning everything you've won. But he won another Champions, look at that".

Furthermore, the former white player makes it clear that Luka Modric "wants to retire here," at Real Madrid, a decision that Pedja Mijatovic approves of on 'El Cafelito'. "Well, retire here, very well", concludes the former merengue footballer about the Croatian legend.
