The 37-year-old Modrić said after captaining Croatia to victory over Morocco in the third-place game ay last year’s World Cup that he wanted to “continue until at least the Nations League and after we will see.” Croatia starts the four-team UEFA Nations League Finals on June 14 against the host Netherlands. Modrić should first add to his national-team record 162 appearances in Euro 2024 qualifying. Croatia hosts Wales on March 25 and then plays at Turkey three days later.
