Modric to retire from Croatia duty after signing AC Milan extension

Luka Modric will retire from international duty with Croatia, per Goal and Fox Sports. He took the captain's armband in 2016 and led his country to the 2018 World Cup final, winning the Ballon d'Or — the award for the world's best player — that same year. Five World Cups span a two-decade international career. The news coincides with his one-year AC Milan contract extension.
