Croatian football star Luka Modric is reportedly planning to retire from international duty following a match against Spain in October. Italian press reports indicate this fixture will mark the end of his celebrated career with the Croatian national team. Simultaneously, Modric is expected to continue playing club football for AC Milan for one final year. This decision brings an end to a distinguished international career spanning over 160 caps for Croatia, during which he became a national icon. The midfield maestro led Croatia to a historic runner-up finish at the 2018 FIFA World Cup and a third-place finish in 2022. While no official confirmation has been made by Modric or the Croatian Football Federation, the reports suggest a clear timeline for his departure. His final year with AC Milan will allow him to continue his professional career at a high level.
