A report from Sportske Novosti states that Luka Modrić has the option to extend his contract until 2027. The report adds that it appears he will make a final decision after this year's World Cup.

Gazzetta dello Sport reports that after the World Cup, it is highly probable Luka Modrić will retire from the national team and might also decide to end his career.

Luka Modric will make a definitive decision about his future at Milan only in the summer. The Croatian midfielder born in 1985 wants to take his time to evaluate his options beyond the end of this season. Modric, who is 40 years old, feels good in Milan and with the Rossoneri, but is not ready to rush a decision that has a precise deadline. He joined the club in July 2025, and his contract expires on June 30, 2026. In 18 Serie A appearances this season, he has scored one goal and provided two assists. The veteran has 194 caps and 28 goals for Croatia, and according to Transfermarkt, his current market value is €4.00m.
