Real Madrid captain Luka Modric, at 39 years old, remains uncertain about his retirement plans as he continues to shine on the football field. Following a stellar performance for Croatia against Poland in a UEFA Nations League match, where he scored the winning goal, Modric expressed his mindset regarding retirement.
Modric stated, 'With me, you never know. We have to take it game by game. I can't think about the future. When I no longer feel the fire in me, I will retire.' The midfielder emphasized that only he can sense when the time is right to hang up his boots.
Despite rumors linking him to a move to Saudi Arabia in previous transfer windows, Modric opted to stay at Real Madrid, extending his contract for another year. Madrid legend Predrag Mijatovic hinted that this season might be Modric's last with the Spanish giants, suggesting that the Croatian maestro is aware of his reduced role in the team.
Modric, who recently marked his 180th appearance for Croatia, expressed pride in achieving this milestone and contributing to his national team's success. He acknowledged the significance of the moment and expressed gratitude for the opportunity to represent his country.
While the timing of Modric's retirement remains uncertain, his legacy as one of the greatest playmakers in football history is secure. Whether he decides to retire after this season or continues to grace the pitch for a bit longer, Modric's impact on the sport is undeniable.
As fans eagerly await Modric's decision on his future, the football world will undoubtedly celebrate the career of a player who has left an indelible mark on the game.
