After 13 years, nearly 600 appearances, and a trophy cabinet full of silverware, one of the most legendary players in Real Madrid&rsquo;s history is set to move on.<\/p><p>At 38 years old, Modric&rsquo;s role in the team has significantly reduced this season. Though he featured in 56 matches, his appearances were largely from the bench. Still, his leadership and intelligence remained invaluable and he even contributed four goals and nine assists this season.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Xabi Alonso Wanted Modric to Stay<\/h2><p>It was earlier reported that incoming manager Xabi Alonso made a personal request to the Real Madrid hierarchy to <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/luka-modric-set-for-shock-real-madrid-stay-as-xabi-alonso-requests-renewal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>renew Luka Modric&rsquo;s contract<\/a>.
