Šuker backs Modrić to lead Croatia at Euro 2028

Croatia legend Davor Šuker believes that Luka Modrić can continue playing at the highest level and potentially lead the national team at Euro 2028.

Modrić recently turned 41 but remains an important player for his nation. He scored in the team's recent 2-1 victory over Czechia and became the country's oldest-ever goalscorer on his 203rd international appearance.

“Modrić has shown he can still perform at the top level. We have incredible quality in the squad,” Šuker said ahead of Croatia's Nations League clash with Spain.

Modrić has not yet confirmed how long he intends to continue playing for Croatia, but Šuker's comments open the possibility of the midfielder featuring at Euro 2028. UEFA lists Modrić as Croatia's captain and most-capped player.
