The end of a very great adventure for a star of world football? Luka Modric (37) announced that he had made his decision on his future with the Croatian selection on Sunday following the defeat in the final of the League of Nations once morest Spain (0-0, 5 tab 4). But the 2018 Ballon d’Or did not want to announce it right away. Seeing the disappointment and emotion on his face, many saw it as the possible end of the midfielder’s international career following wearing the Vatreni jersey for 17 years.
“I’m clear on my decision, but I’m not going to say it today”
“I’m clear on my decision, but I’m not going to say it today,” he said in the mixed zone of the Rotterdam stadium a few moments following the new setback for his selection at the gates of a title. After having won everything at club level with Real Madrid (23 titles, including five Champions Leagues), Modric came close to the grail in selection with a World Cup final lost to France in 2018, the year he won the Ballon Golden.
Croatia has once more had a remarkable run in 2022 with a third place. On Sunday, Modric was aiming for the Nations League title but his side eventually lost on penalties following two misses from Lovro Majer and Bruno Petkovic. Selected for the first time in 2006, he has 166 caps and 24 goals scored.
His club future is clearer. As he reaches the end of his contract at Real Madrid, the former Tottenham player should soon extend until 2024, according to the Spanish press despite a big offer from Saudi Arabia. Unlike his former teammate Karim Benzema, the native of Zadar refused the golden bridge of the rich oil state and should therefore continue in the Spanish capital despite the recent arrival of a new competitor in the middle, the young Englishman Jude Bellingham (19 years).
