Modric might choose to retire next summer

According to a report by Spanish journalist Jose Luis Sanchez, the 38-year-old Luka Modric might choose to retire next summer.

In the final round of the group stage of this European Championship, Modric's goal brought Croatia very close to the Round of 16, but in the last moments, they conceded a stoppage-time equalizer from Zaccagni. As a result, Croatia regrettably finished third in the group, with slim hopes of advancing.

The report by Jose Luis Sanchez claims that this European Championship might be Modric's final major tournament. The former Ballon d'Or winner is expected to renew his contract with Real Madrid until 2025 this summer. However, according to Sanchez, Modric might choose to end his playing career next summer.
