Luka Modric published a post on his Instagram profile last night, thanking the AC Milan fans in what can be seen as a farewell message.

Just a few weeks ago, when Champions League qualification seemed like a certainty (sort of), reports suggested that Modric was keen on staying at Milan. However, due to the Rossoneri’s failure to qualify for the competition, it seems he could retire instead.
That hypothesis was certainly fueled, at least in our eyes, with a message that Modric posted on his Instagram last night. He thanked the Milan fans for their support throughout the season, and again, it feels more like a farewell to us.
“A season with beautiful moments and difficult moments, but at the end, we had to face the harsh reality and admit that it didn’t end as we wanted! I’d like to thank all the Milan fans from the bottom of my heart for the affection, respect and great support they’ve shown me during the whole year!
Forza Milan ❤️🖤,” he wrote.
The situation should become clearer in the coming weeks as Modric’s contract will expire at the end of June. Of course, his full focus will now shift to the World Cup with Croatia, but you would imagine that he wants to announce a decision before that.
