Luka Modric is expected to make a crucial decision regarding his future after suffering a facial injury while playing for AC Milan. The 40-year-old Croatian footballer must choose between extending his tenure at San Siro or retiring from his professional career. This was reported by Goal.com xabar.
Modric fractured his cheekbone following a collision with Manuel Locatelli during a match against Juventus that ended in a 0-0 draw. The Croatian midfielder will undergo surgery and miss the remainder of the Serie A season.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the injury has not dampened the player's desire to continue playing. The former Real Madrid star is inclined to activate a clause to extend his contract with AC Milan for another year.
He has played a vital role in the team's midfield this season, logging more minutes than he did in any of his final five seasons in Madrid.
Reports suggest that Modric's primary goal is to conclude his career at the highest level of European football. Remaining at AC Milan would allow him to compete in the Champions League once more.
He has also developed a strong tactical understanding with head coach Massimiliano Allegri.
The club's management is prepared to extend Modric's stay only with his consent. It is expected that the player will prioritize recovering his physical fitness with the Croatia national team for the 2026 World Cup before making a final decision regarding his future at the club.
