AC Milan's Croatian midfielder Luka Modric is set to make a decision on his future after the World Cup. His contract is expiring soon and there are two main options on the table: extending his stay at the Rossoneri for another season or hanging up his boots to start a new chapter as a director at Real Madrid. Modric wants to enjoy his last World Cup before making a definitive choice.

The 37-year-old's willingness seems to be leaning towards staying at Milan, where he and his family have settled well and have a great relationship with the fans and the squad. However, with his 40th birthday approaching in September, Modric wants to assess his physical condition before committing to another season. A conversation with new coach Ruben Amorim will be crucial in understanding the team's technical project and how he plans to manage the squad.

Modric's role in Amorim's new tactical setup is also a key factor. Given his age and the demands of the season, a targeted approach to his appearances is likely, possibly missing some European away games or coming on as a substitute to conserve energy. This would allow him to make a significant impact in selected matches.

The final decision on Modric's future will have to wait until after the World Cup, with the midfielder keen to savor the experience before choosing his next step.
