Luka Modric is set to extend his deal at Real Madrid until the end of the 2022-23 season in the coming weeks, according to reports in Spain.
The Croatia midfielder - who joined the Spanish giants from Tottenham in 2012 - only signed a new one-year deal in May this year to take him into a ninth season at the Santiago Bernabeu.
But MARCA now claim the 36-year-old is hoping to open talks about a similar deal with Madrid chiefs before the end of 2021.
Modric remains an integral part of Carlo Ancelotti's plans, having featured in 11 matches across all competitions so far in this campaign.
