Luka Modric has made up his mind about his future, and AC Milan fans can breathe easy. The 40-year-old midfielder is reportedly set to pen a new one-year contract with the Rossoneri after months of behind-the-scenes efforts from the club.
Modric arrived at Milan as a free agent last summer following a remarkable 13-year tenure at Real Madrid, signing a short-term deal that many viewed as a final chapter in an illustrious career. Yet the Croatian proved he still has plenty to offer at the highest level.
Across 37 appearances in all competitions this season, Modric contributed two goals and three assists, establishing himself as a key figure in Milan's squad despite his veteran status.
According to Sky Sport Italia, the club's persistence in negotiations has ultimately paid dividends. Milan's board, working in tandem with new head coach Ruben Amorim, invested significant effort into persuading Modric that his future belongs at San Siro for at least another season.
The agreement represents a significant retention victory for Milan as they look to build under Amorim's guidance heading into the next campaign.
