After their defeat to Portugal, Croatia captain Luka Modric spoke to the media and he was understandably asked about what is next.
It is no secret that this was Luka Modric’s last international appearance and whatever happened in America this summer, he would be hanging up his boots, at least on the international scene. The midfielder has paved a new way for Croatia, and he leaves the country’s footballing landscape in a significantly better place.

However, the questions after the game were not too focused on any final remarks for the national team. Of course, there were questions about his team’s performance, but he was then asked about what would be next.
Modric’s future answer
There have been rumours about Milan and whether he will continue as a player or take a coaching role with Real Madrid. We do not know…
So, Sportske Novosti – a Croatian newspaper – asked him at full-time what his plans were, as MilanNews relays.
“It’s not the time to talk about it now. You’ll find out soon.”
If it was his last match, it was a memorable one. The guy is pure class in every aspect and will be missed by the footballing world – be it now or next year…
Modric is not coming back. The only reason he came here was because he had a World Cup coming and Milan guaranteed him playing time while Real Madrid would not.
One more season Modric. Just one more.
