Real Madrid's ageing midfielder Luka Modric is not a key player in Carlo Ancelotti's squad this season, but this factor was not fundamental to the Croatian's decision to stay with the team.
According to AS, the 38-year-old would like to extend his cooperation with the "royal club" for another year. Modric hopes that the Gunners will offer him a new contract.
This season, Modric played 38 matches for Real Madrid, scoring two goals and providing six assists.
