Luka Modric has twice come close to winning a title with Croatia. Most recently, there was bronze at the World Cup in Qatar. In the Nations League, the cup should finally come.
Rotterdam – Croatian soccer star Luka Modric has left open whether this week’s Nations League finals will be his last tournament with the national team.
“I don’t even want to think about that. That would only distract me from the goal I’m here for, and that’s to win the Nations League,” said Modric (37) before the first semi-final this Wednesday (8:45 p.m. / DAZN) in Rotterdam against hosts Netherlands.
In the second semi-final on Thursday in Enschede (8.45 p.m. / RTL and DAZN) European champions Italy and Spain will face each other. The final will take place again in Rotterdam on Sunday.
Of course, the farewell is getting closer, but he still has fun in every training session and in every game, said the Real Madrid professional. “And as long as I’m having fun, I see no reason not to come back to the national team.”
The midfield strategist also didn’t want to say anything about his future at club level. Modric’s contract with Real Madrid expires at the end of June. Recently there has been speculation about a move to Saudi Arabia, where veteran stars like Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema already play, or to the USA, where Lionel Messi will soon play at Inter Miami. “It’s all about my personal future here all the time. But my focus is on getting the title here,” said Modric. dpa
