The 37-year-old veteran will reportedly seriously consider ending his international career after the final, and will meet with Real Madrid president Jose Piriez next week to decide whether to renew his contract with the club and go to Saudi Arabia for business.
After leading Croatia to the third place in last year's World Cup, Modić indicated that he would insist on playing in the UEFA Europa League in the hope of winning a historic championship for the national team, and his dream of winning the Cup is just one step away. According to Spanish media reports, Modić will decide his future after the UEFA Europa League final, and he hopes to use the championship to bring his national career to a perfect end.
Modigliani's club career also has to make a decision. His contract with Real Madrid ends in the summer, and although he has repeatedly emphasized that he wants to stay with the club, his renewal has been delayed, and he even received a lucrative offer from the Saudi Arabian giants earlier, making his renewal uncertain again. According to Marca, Modigliani will meet with Real Madrid's president Pérez and other executives next week to make a final decision on his stay.
