Spanish giants Real Madrid have come to a definitive decision on the future of the beloved Luka Modric, according to reports.
The name of midfield standout Modric, of course, has taken its place front and centre in the headlines at the Santiago Bernabeu over the course of the last couple of months.
This comes amid ongoing speculation that the Croatian could be on the move come the summer.
Ahead of the expiration of his contract upon the close of the campaign, Modric is understood to have been identified as a free agent target by a whole host of clubs, chiefly in the Middle East.
One such outfit keen on his services come in the form of Saudi giants Al-Nassr, desperate to reunite the veteran midfielder with former teammate Cristiano Ronaldo in Riyadh.

If the latest word stemming from the media late on Friday is anything to go by, though, then Modric, it would appear, is going nowhere.
And it is understood that Modric has been informed by Real Madrid president Florentino Perez that he will imminently be offered a new contract, through the summer of 2024.
