Defeat against Cagliari in the last round dropped Milan to the Europa League and opened the question of what comes next for Modric.
The captain of the Croatian national team has the option of extending his contract for another season, but it is not known whether he will do so, end his career or choose a third path. Before him is the World Cup in the USA, Canada and Mexico, which starts on June 11, and Croatia will play against England, Panama and Ghana in the group stage. Modrić is currently focused on that challenge, while his club future is still uncertain.
The Italian media previously wrote that Milan’s placement in the Champions League would also mean Modrić staying at the club for another season, but after this end of the season, everything is in question. After a disappointing end for him and Milan, Modrić addressed the fans via Instagram around midnight.
Modric’s message
“A season full of beautiful and difficult moments, but in the end we have to face reality and admit that it didn’t end the way we wanted. I want to thank all Milan fans from the bottom of my heart for the love, respect and great support they gave me throughout the year. Forza Milan,” he wrote.
What next?
In this message, the captain of the Croatian national team did not reveal what decision he had made, but for many, his statement seemed like a farewell. The departure of coach Massimiliano Allegri, with whom he had an excellent relationship, further increases the uncertainty surrounding his future.
Let us remind you that Modrić arrived in Milan before the start of the season as a legend and icon of Real Madrid. In the Madrid giants, he became the player with the most trophies won in the club’s history – as many as 28 – after which he put on the red and black jersey of Milan.
