Modric Advocates for Ronaldo's Fitting Farewell from Portugal

Luka Modric, the Croatian football legend, expressed his belief that Cristiano Ronaldo deserves to conclude his international career with the Portugal national team on a positive note. This statement comes in light of Ronaldo's recent departure from the national camp after a confrontation with head coach Jorge Jesus, leaving the 41-year-old's future with the team uncertain.

In a statement released on Tuesday, Ronaldo affirmed his availability to represent Portugal, while other reports indicate that he desires Jorge Jesus to be dismissed before he considers returning. Modric remarked on the situation, stating, “Cristiano is the greatest player in the history of Portugal, and he deserves another farewell and another ending with the national team.” He expressed sadness over the circumstances surrounding Ronaldo in his home country and expressed hope for a resolution that honors Ronaldo's contributions, whether he retires or continues with the national team.
