Despite being in a reduced role at Real Madrid, Modric remains focused on the present and is not ready to retire yet. He stated that he will retire only when he no longer feels the passion for the game, emphasizing that this decision will come from within him rather than external advice.

He expressed pride in his achievements and continued desire to contribute to both his club and national team. His next challenge will be contributing to Real Madrid's efforts in La Liga, starting with their upcoming match against Real Sociedad.
Luka Modric recently marked his 39th birthday with a notable performance, scoring in Croatia's 1-0 victory over Poland in the Nations League. His goal and his 180th international cap underscore his enduring quality and significance to both his national team and Real Madrid.
Modric, who signed a contract extension with Real Madrid in the summer that keeps him at the club until 2025, has acknowledged that his role at Madrid has diminished somewhat due to the emergence of younger talents like Eduardo Camavinga, Aurelien Tchouameni, Fede Valverde, and Jude Bellingham. Despite this, Modric is not ready to retire and is committed to helping his team achieve success. He emphasized that he will make the decision to retire based on his internal motivation and passion for the game, rather than external pressure or advice.
He expressed satisfaction with his recent performance, noting that scoring a free kick after a long period was particularly gratifying. Modric’s focus remains on contributing positively to his team and continuing to excel as long as he feels the "fire" inside him. He will now return to Real Madrid to aid in their pursuit of further trophies, with their next La Liga match against Real Sociedad on the horizon.
