Reports from Gazzetta_it indicate that Luka Modrić will say goodbye to Croatia duty in October, with the match against Spain expected to be his final appearance in the famous red‑and‑white shirt.
Softfootball understands Modrić started in all four matches for Croatia at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Croatia navigated through Group L, finishing second behind England to qualify for the knockout rounds.
However, their tournament journey came to an emotional end in the Round of 32 on July 3, 2026, when they suffered a heartbreaking 2–1 defeat against Portugal at Toronto Stadium.
