Luka Modrić Says Yes to AC Milan After Real Madrid Exit
Luka Modrić has reportedly agreed to join AC Milan on a one-year contract, marking the next chapter in a legendary career. The 39-year-old Croatian midfielder, who recently left Real Madrid as a free agent, is set to remain in European football despite receiving more lucrative offers from Major League Soccer (MLS).
According to sources close to the situation in Madrid, Modrić gave the green light to the move earlier this week. The news quickly spread from the Spanish capital, where the former Galáctico is still closely followed by fans and media alike.
The Rossoneri are taking a bold step by signing the veteran playmaker, but believe his vast experience — including five UEFA Champions League titles — can add leadership and creativity to their midfield as they aim to compete both domestically and in Europe.
Modrić's Eyes on 2026 World Cup
Modrić has made no secret of his ambition to remain at the highest level in order to stay in contention for the FIFA World Cup 2026. Staying in Serie A allows him to maintain his competitive edge and prepare for one final international tournament with Croatia.
