Luka Modrić enjoys summer at Kožino villa while contemplating his future club

Croatian captain Luka Modrić is spending the last days of his summer break with his family at a luxury villa in Kožino, a quiet settlement near Zadar on the Adriatic coast. The property, which has been the Modrić family’s preferred holiday spot for years, suffered some damage to its access road during strong storms that hit the area in 2024.

As the season approaches, Modrić is still undecided about his professional future after Croatia’s elimination from the World Cup. He faces three options: remain at AC Milan and trigger a contract clause for another year, transfer to another club, or end his playing career at Real Madrid. His wife, Vanja Bosnić, has expressed a wish for the family to return to Madrid once his career concludes. Milan’s recent managerial changes and the club’s failure to qualify for the Champions League add uncertainty to the decision, while coach Žoze Murinjo at Real Madrid continues to count on Modrić’s experience.
