Modric: I'll play on with Croatia at least until NL

AL RAYYAN, Qatar — Luka Modric has confirmed he will continue playing for Croatia into next year but refused to commit to representing his country at Euro 2024.

The 37-year-old earned his 162nd cap on Saturday as Zlatko Dalic’s side beat Morocco 2-1 at Khalifa International Stadium to secure third place at the World Cup finals in Qatar.

That achievement comes four years after reaching the 2018 final and highlights Modric’s evergreen quality at the heart of Croatia’s midfield.

Dalic believes Modric will play at the 2024 tournament in Germany assuming they qualify but speaking about his future after Saturday’s win, the Real Madrid star only stated he will carry on until June’s Nations League finals before considering his options.
