Espn considers Modric's 2018 the eighth most dominant of all performances for the year across all sports (he's the only soccer player on the list): http://www.espn.com/espn/feature/st...-kim-lebron-james-most-dominant-athletes-2018

In other words: he knows that he can't keep the highest level and that the end of his RM tenure is near. Who was the last one that truly retired at the club (or had a true farewell)? Zidane is the last one I can think of and he still has that mystical aura around him, lol. Modric is probably gone next summer!
As much as i love the guy, he should move on with a proper send off... and why not another UCL title to end it with style .
Yeah, Luka really deserves a proper send off. I expect the club to reward him with an additional UCL of course, as you mentioned. Man, what a player he's turned out to be for us. Incredible!
After we win the next CL, transform him into a coach, and then have him manage a Juvenil team for a bit before he takes over Castilla.
It's been a rough season for Luka Modrić and Real Madrid 📉 pic.twitter.com/DMGrnHv38m— FOX Soccer (@FOXSoccer) January 8, 2019
Send an offer to Inter: Luka Modrić + 50M = Icardi. Replace Modrić either with Ceballos or even better do formation change to 4-4-2.
In my opinion Modric plays well and we he is worth much more. We should just buy quality forwards. Our midfield will improve a lot with more dangerous forwards. We have only 3 of them, Benzema most of the time runs towards our goal, Bale is the only one trying to run behind the defence but that doesn't work most of the time. Lucas doesn't bring anything. VJ has pace and technical ability and created a lot of space for his teammates with dangerous runs on the wing, between the CB and RB and etc. More here. I believe that Modric will still be the best midfielder for the next two seasons. Even in the bad form that people say he is, he is very good. We will lose a lot of quality for just 50 million, which in today's market would buy you pretty average player.

Modric continued: "Cristiano is not here, we cannot be asking for 10 years who will replace him. The club put their faith in other players like Gareth, Karim and Asensio, brought in Mariano, Vinicius is doing very well here for his age."— Dermot Corrigan (@dermotmcorrigan) March 4, 2019
After that he said.. .. sometimes you get things wrong.. I just head the full presser .. He is so articulate in Spanish.. He said many things.. He said he started the season poorly but has now recovered after the club WC. About Vini he said he brings something different, speed and explosiveness..He is still very young but has demonstrated his enormous talent , desire and personality . We are here to help each other and grow and hope he will become a very player for our club.
Modric with the truth and slapping a couple of teammates and a certain President in their faces with it.
Lol. Talk about reading what you want to read. We need more goals from Modric himself as well. This is part of the problem, the players that talk haven't done shit to get us out of this mess. They basically rely on a teenager.
