Real Madrid have announced captain Luka Modric will leave the Santiago Bernabeu after 13 years of service following this summer’s Club World Cup campaign.

After taking part in his final LaLiga fixture for Los Blancos against Real Sociedad on Saturday, the Croatian will travel to the United States with his side ahead of their first match in the summer tournament, against Al Hilal on June 18.

The 39-year-old playmaker has reached the end of his deal having signed a one-year contract extension last year.

Modric, who joined Real from Tottenham in 2012, has been part of six Champions League-winning squads and won a total of 28 trophies at Madrid.
