Croatia’s veteran Luka Modric has confirmed he will keep playing for the national team until the 2023 Nations League and then he will take a call on his future. Modric, who has had a glorious career, did not confirm his participation for the 2024 Euros, set to be hosted by Germany.

Croatia bagged the bronze medal after beating Morocco by 2-1 at the Khalifa International Stadium in the third-place playoff match on Saturday. The Saturday game for the 162nd appearance of the experienced campaigner while representing the national colors.

“This medal is very important for us, for me, for Croatia as a national team, as a country,” Modric told beIN SPORTS.

“We confirm with this medal that Croatia is playing an important role in the world of football and we are leaving Qatar as winners.

“About my future? I don’t know if I will be [playing] until the Euros in Germany. We will see. I need to go step by step. I am enjoying the national team. I feel happy. I still think I can perform on a high level and I want to continue until at least until the Nations League.

“Then after, there will be more time to think about the Euros. Now it goes step by step and continue at least until Nations League and then we will see.”

Meanwhile, Modric could not score a single goal in FIFA World Cup 2022 but he played a key role in taking his team to the semifinal stages. Croatia was knocked out of the showpiece after they suffered a 3-0 defeat against Argentina in the semifinal.
