In the wake of Kylian Mbappe’s shocking last-minute switch to snub Real Madrid and stay in Paris, Luka Modric has assured fans that he won’t be doing the same.
Modric, 36, is due to become a free agent this summer after a decade in the Spanish capital but insisted he will stay at the Bernabeu, ruling out any possibility of an Mbappe-style U-turn.
Mbappe stunned the Spanish giants on Saturday by agreeing a new three-year deal at PSG worth over £650,000 a week, despite initially pushing to join Madrid earlier this year.

One reason the veteran could be delaying contract negotiations is to avoid any unnecessary distraction ahead of Real Madrid’s Champions League final against Liverpool on Saturday.
The Croatian played a key role in the final against Liverpool four years ago, helping Real Madrid triumph 3-1 in Kyiv.
