Modric signs one-year Real Madrid contract extension
The Croatian midfielder's deal had been due to expire at the end of the month, but he has now committed to fresh terms at Santiago Bernabeu.
Luka Modric's trophy-laden stay at Real Madrid will continue for at least one more year, after the veteran midfielder signed an extension with the Spanish champions.
Modric has become one of the great players of modern times at Santiago Bernabeu, winning 5 Champions League titles as well as the Ballon d'Or in 2018.
His journey with Madrid looked to be ending this summer as his contract was due to expire - however a 12-month extension will now keep him at the club.
The 2018 World Cup finalist has spent 9 seasons at Madrid to date, the latest of which saw him add 3 more trophies to his glittering career CV.
Los Blancos followed up Supercopa de Espana and La Liga successes by securing their 14th European title with a 1-0 Final victory over Liverpool at Stade de France.
Modric has racked up a grand total of 462 appearances for Madrid since his arrival from Tottenham Hotspur in 2012, winning 19 major trophies.
Oblak agrees contract extension
Jan Oblak has agreed a new deal with Atletico Madrid that will keep him in the Spanish capital until the summer of 2025 according to Fabrizio Romano.
The 29-year-old's previous deal had been set to expire at the end of the 2022-2023 season but an extension has been agreed and will be announced imminently.
Oblak, a Slovenian international with 50 caps for his country to his name, began his career in his home country with Olimpija Ljubljana before joining Benfica in 2010.
He spent the next 4 years contracted to the Portuguese club but failed to make much of a dent in Lisbon - he had spells out on loan at the likes of Beira-Mar, Olhanense, Uniao de Leiria and Rio Ave.
But Oblak joined Atletico in the summer of 2014 and has since then established himself as one of the finest goalkeepers in European football.
He's played 352 games for the Spanish giants, winning La Liga in the 2020-2021 season and keeping 175 clean sheets. His form dipped last year but he's still a top goalkeeper.
Lemar agrees 50% pay-cut to renew Atletico Madrid contract
Atletico Madrid have reportedly agreed to extend Thomas Lemar's contract until the summer of 2027 and the Frenchman is set to take a 50% pay-cut for the privilege.
Atletico finished third in La Liga last season despite their status as defending champions and failed to impress in the Champions League. They'll hope to use this summer to re-calibrate themselves and attack the 2022-2023 season with renewed zeal. Renewing the likes of Lemar and Oblak is a good start.
Lemar, 26-year-old, joined Atletico from AS Monaco in the summer of 2018. Since then he's made 142 appearances for Diego Simeone's side, contributing 9 goals and 17 assists.
His initial months in the Spanish capital were difficult but the 27-cap French international has become more important as his spell went on. He'll hope to be a key squad member for Atletico in this coming season.
Nacho Monreal retires
The 36-year-old defender announced his retirement on Tuesday following a persistent knee injury that kept him out of the entire 2021-2022 season.
A former Spain international, Monreal is best remembered for his 8 seasons at Arsenal in which he won 3 FA Cups.
A native of Pamplona, Monreal made his senior debut in 2006 for hometown club Osasuna. After 5 seasons there, he joined Malaga in 2011. Two seasons later, he made his move to the Gunners.
Monreal would go on to make 251 appearances across all competitions for Arsenal, becoming a regular starter under Arsene Wenger. On top of the 3 FA Cups, Monreal won 3 Community Shields and was a member of the Gunners team that finished as runners-up to Chelsea in the 2019 Europa League Final.
He spent the last 2 seasons of his career back in La Liga with Real Sociedad.
Internationally, Monreal was capped 22 times by Spain.

Benitez set to be named new Celta Vigo coach
Rafael Benitez is to become the new manager of Celta Vigo, the Spanish club have announced.
Celta have confirmed an "agreement in principle" has been reached for the former Liverpool, Newcastle and Real Madrid coach to take charge at Balaidos Stadium from the start of pre-season training in July.
Benitez, 63-year-old, has been out of management since he was sacked by Everton in January last year.
The Spaniard boasts considerable experience having also had spells at other clubs including Chelsea, Napoli, Inter Milano and Valencia.
His successes include winning the Champions League, La Liga twice, the Europa League, UEFA Cup, Club World Cup, FA Cup and Coppa Italia.
Modric signs new one-year deal
Luka Modric has signed a new one-year deal which will keep him at Real Madrid until the summer of 2024.
The Croatia midfielder, whose contract had been set to expire at the Santiago Bernabeu, had been linked with a move to Saudi Arabia's Pro League.
Modric, 37-year-old, has made 488 appearances for Real, winning 3 La Liga titles and the Champions League 5 times since arriving from Tottenham Hotspur in 2012.
He also won the Ballon d'Or in 2018 as Croatia reached the World Cup Final.
He follows Toni Kroos, Dani Ceballos and Nacho Fernandez in extending their contracts with the club this summer and is still regarded as a key player for the 14-time European champions.
Pellegrini extends Betis stay
Spanish football is blessed with having several top class managers. Carlo Ancelotti, Diego Simeone and Xavi Hernandez are the most well-renowned, but there are many others that have proven themselves to be excellent coaches during their careers.
In this regard, Manuel Pellegrini is right up there. The Chilean, who has previously managed Villarreal and Real Madrid in Spain, as well Manchester City and West Ham in England, has won 11 trophies over his career, and has generally impressed at every club he's managed.
He has been head coach at Betis for the last 3 years. During that time, Los Verdiblancos have never finished below 6th in La Liga, and they also won the Copa del Rey last season.
Understandably, the Betis hierarchy have been keen to keep Pellegrini at the club, and they announced on Wednesday that he has signed a new 3-year contract, keeping him in Andalusia until 2026.
Pellegrini has undoubtedly been one of Betis' best managers in recent history, and with him at the helm, they will be aiming to finish inside the European places again next season, with focus especially on being in the top 4.
Real Madrid sign Guler
Real Madrid have confirmed the signing of exciting 18-year-old talent Arda Guler.
The Turkish international moves to Los Blancos on a deal that could be worth in excess of €30 million for Fenerbahce, without commissions, who published the details of the signing. Los Blancos will spend €20 million initially, with €10 million available in bonuses - they will also retain 20% of any future sale of Guler.
He signs a 6-year deal with Real Madrid, who continue their impressive signing of Europe's most promising stars, having brought back Fran Garcia and Brahim Diaz, and brought in Jude Bellingham and now Guler.
Capable of operating out wide on the right, or from the middle of the park, Guler mixes a technically gifted left-foot, vision and excellent close control. He will go into the first team immediately and compete with the likes of Diaz for minutes.
In total, Guler has played 51 times for Fenerbahce, scoring 9 goals and assisting 12, while he has already opened his account in his 4 Turkey caps.
David Silva announces retirement from football
Spain and Manchester City legend David Silva has retired from football after 20 years in the game.
Silva was due to prepare for another season with Real Sociedad this campaign, but the 37-year-old suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury in preseason training, which was due to keep him out a number of months. As a result, he has decided to call time on a glittering career.
Silva moved to Valencia from his native Canary Islands home as a youngster, where he would become a key part of the first team at Mestallla, winning the Copa del Rey - he also had a season at Eibar on loan prior to his breakthrough.
He would then go on to appear for Manchester City for a decade following a €29 million move in 2010. There he conquered every trophy available to him other than the Champions League, bringing in a golden era for the club. Amongst his honours were 4 Premier League trophies.
Between 2008 and 2012, he was also part of all 3 historic Spain sides that won 2 Euros and a World Cup in succession. He would call time on his Spain career in 2018, after 125 caps and 35 goals, finishing 4th in their all-time top scorers list behind Fernando Torres, Raul Gonzalez and David Villa.
Silva would return to Spain in 2020, joining Real Sociedad on a free. There he would become an instrumental part of their success under Imanol Alguacil, contributing to their Copa del Rey win and their Champions League qualification for the first time in a decade last year.
In total, Silva secured 19 trophies, playing 744 times at club level, recording 121 goals and 194 assists. One of the all-time greats of Spanish and world football, Silva will no doubt be sorely missed by fans and all of those working in the game.
Sorloth makes Villarreal switch
RasenBallsport Leipzig confirmed the permanent departure of Alexander Sorloth on Tuesday evening.
Sorloth was signed from Trabzonspor 3 years ago, but has spent the last 2 seasons on loan at Real Sociedad.

He featured 38 times for Leipzig, scoring 6 goals.
