Madrid Xtra, a highly reliable source with 400,000 followers on Twitter, have reported that Luka Modrić will stay on with Croatia until EURO 2024! This is coming via Croatian team doctor Zoran Bahtijarević, who is back with the national team in Zagreb this week.
This wouldn’t at all surprise me with Modrić playing some of the best ball of his life in his mid-30s. If Modrić followed through with this plan and played at EURO 2024 – should Croatia qualify of course – he would be 38 years and nine months when the tournament kicks off June 14th in Germany.
Absolute legend!
Regardless where it’s come from
That’s fantastic news
Bravo legenda
Glad to hear that he’s staying on.
2024 is an interesting year. It’s when Dalic’s contract expires.
Modric has already stated that he has interest in coaching.
I really hope this doesn’t mean that we’re planning on giving him the keys to the team as his first crack at coaching.
That’s a sure-fire way to ruin your legacy lol.
Making comments like this is a good way to get fired as NT doctor
I was thinking the same. Why is the team doctor making announcements to the media about players? Just shut the fuck up and do your job.
Lots of doctors nowadays are not doing their jobs
He is the King. Who can ever dethrone him???!
Is the u23 playing their senior squad
Didn’t even know u23 for national teams was a thing
