Luka Modrić is on track to join AC Milan following the conclusion of the FIFA Club World Cup. The Croatian midfielder, currently with Real Madrid, has chosen to honor his commitment to the Spanish giants before finalizing the move to Italy. As things stand, all details of the proposed contract are in place, with Modrić expected to sign a deal running until June 2026, including an optional one-year extension.
Although nothing has been signed yet, both parties are aligned on the plan. AC Milan is simply waiting for the Club World Cup to wrap up before scheduling the medical tests and formalizing the agreement. The decision to delay the move is seen as a gesture of respect by Modrić towards Real Madrid, where he has spent more than a decade of his illustrious career.
Modrić, 38, is regarded as one of the most decorated midfielders of his generation. His trophy cabinet includes five UEFA Champions League titles, three La Liga championships, and the 2018 Ballon d’Or. His leadership, vision, and technical mastery have made him a key figure at Real Madrid and the Croatian national team.
AC Milan views Modrić as a valuable addition to a squad looking to return to the top of European football. His experience in high-pressure matches and his ability to control the tempo of the game could provide the perfect balance to a relatively young midfield. Milan’s interest in Modrić reflects their ambition to blend experience with emerging talent in pursuit of domestic and continental success.
Once the Club World Cup concludes, Modrić’s future is expected to be confirmed, with AC Milan preparing to welcome one of the modern game’s most respected playmakers.
