‘Extra’ incentives
Modric’s priority is to stay in white. That award alone motivates the Croatian footballer in an extraordinary way, who also has two additional incentives on his sporting horizon. On the one hand, the possibility of ‘releasing’ the new Bernabu, whose reform process should end by the end of 2022. The same date on which another of Modric’s great objectives is set, which is none other than his presence with Croatia in the Qatar World Cup.
