"I haven't talked about my renewal with the club, just like I did last year these days. I'm calm, but this question bores me because I always have to repeat the same things, or rather that I'm fine in Madrid and that I want to continue at Real. I have to talk about it with the club, because I have to deserve the renewal, I don't want them to give it to me."
Thus Luka Modric, in a press conference on the eve of Liverpool-Real Madrid, answers a question, the umpteenth one that has been asked of him in recent times, on his renewal with the European and world champion team, with which he a contract expiring in June.
"They've never given me anything - Modric says -, but I want to continue here because I deserve it, and not because of my history or what I've won in the past. And nothing will change my relationship with Madrid, nothing will break it, it's the club of my life".
"I will try in every way to give my best - concludes the Croatian Ballon d'Or 2018 - and to deserve to stay here, I can't do more. However, like last year, there is no hurry".
