Luka Modrić will be wearing the red and black of AC Milan next season, with the club officially confirming the signing of the Croatian midfield maestro. After months of speculation, the “here we go” moment is finally sealed, as Modrić signs a one-year contract that will keep him at the San Siro until June 2026.
This marks a major move for both the player and the Italian giants. Modrić, widely regarded as one of the greatest midfielders of his generation, brings a level of technical brilliance, vision, and leadership that few can match. At 38 years old, he remains a symbol of professionalism and elite footballing intelligence, and his arrival is expected to inject valuable experience into Stefano Pioli’s squad.
The Croatian star will not join the team immediately, as he is set to complete his final appearances with Real Madrid at the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup. Once that tournament wraps up, Modrić will make his move to Italy — a country where he has never played before, adding a new chapter to his illustrious career.
Modrić leaves behind a legendary legacy at Real Madrid, having won multiple Champions League and La Liga titles, as well as the Ballon d’Or in 2018. His decision to embrace a new challenge shows his continued hunger for top-level football, and Milan see him as a key figure in their ambitions both domestically and in Europe.
