Luka Modric to continue with Croatia and AC Milan

Luka Modric has confirmed his intention to continue playing for both AC Milan and the Croatia national team, despite previous speculation regarding his retirement following the World Cup.

Croatia's head coach, Slaven Bilic, expressed enthusiasm regarding Modric's commitment, noting that the player's passion for the national team remains unquestioned. Modric is scheduled to participate in several UEFA Nations League fixtures during the upcoming international break, including matches against the Czech Republic, Spain, England, and a return leg against Spain.

At the club level, AC Milan manager Ruben Amorim will look to integrate Modric into a tactical setup that maximizes his ball involvement, acknowledging that while his physical stature is a factor, his technical contribution remains vital for the team.
