In the early hours of June 25th, the crucial match for qualification in the European Championship group stage, Croatia vs Italy, is about to begin. If Croatia fails to defeat their opponents in this match, they will be eliminated from the group stage.
British media outlet BBC published an article before the match, stating that regardless of the outcome of this European Championship, Modric will not choose to retire from the national team.
Despite approaching the age of 39, Modric, the core midfielder of Croatia, is still ambitious and hopes to once again lead his team on a World Cup journey.
By the 2026 World Cup, Modric will be close to 41 years old. This absolute legend of Croatian football will continue his journey on the green field.
