AC Milan are confident of signing Luka Modrić. This was reported by Fabrizio Romano, who claimed that the Italian giants are close to securing the Croatian midfielder after the international break. Modrić is still expected to play his final matches as a Real Madrid player in the Club World Cup, with a contract extension planned to allow him to participate in the competition, which ends on July .
Milan are currently offering him a net salary of €3.5 million per year. Recall that it was unexpectedly announced that the 39-year-old midfielder would leave Madrid as a free agent, as the club did not offer him a new contract—despite his willingness to accept a bench role and lower wages. He was honored during his final match at the Bernabéu.
According to reports, Modrić had planned to retire after the 2026 World Cup, with the intention of ending his career at Real Madrid.
However, man proposes, God disposes—abi how do they talk am again?
Modrić reportedly wants to play for AC Milan to stay fit ahead of the World Cup, choosing to remain active in one of Europe’s top five leagues.
Interestingly, AC Milan will not be playing in European competitions next season, which appeals to Modrić. The player does not want, under any circumstances, to face his former club, Real Madrid. Modrić has shown loyalty to Madrid, despite the events surrounding his departure. The Real Madrid board refused to grant him the simple request of a new contract—even though, this season, despite coming off the bench, he was one of Real Madrid’s best, if not the best, midfielders and possibly even their best player.
Milan have offered Modrić a one-year contract with an option to extend for another year. Contacts have taken place between both Modrić’s camp and AC Milan’s camp, and a verbal agreement has already been reached between both parties. So, Luka Modrić will be heading to AC Milan after the Club World Cup.
