Modric’s future with the national squad remains uncertain. Reports indicate he recently dined with newly appointed Croatia coach Slaven Bilic, who has expressed his desire for Modric to continue representing the national team while leaving the final decision in the player’s hands.
Speculation surrounds a potential farewell for Modric from international duty, possibly during a ceremony linked to Croatia’s Nations League meeting with Spain in October. However, his current focus is on competing for Milan.
