Luka Modric confirms AC Milan contact as Real Madrid legend eyes next move after contract expires

Club Friendlies

AC Milan

Arsenal

<p>The Madrid hero Modric has confirmed there have been contacts with Milan after his emotional exit from the Los Blancos. Speaking ahead of Croatia's clash with the Czech Republic at a press conference, the 39-year-old admitted he's yet to make a final decision on his future but didn't deny a move to Milan is on the cards. Reports indicate <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/luka-modric-ac-milan-confident-of-veteran-midfielder-signing-after-positive-talks-following-real-madrid-departure/bltc85af99d2a17cf1d" target="_blank">a one-year deal with an option for a second season is in place</a>, with medicals potentially scheduled for the coming week.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>The Rossoneri are in urgent need of midfield reinforcements amid <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-in/lists/man-city-netherlands-ronald-koeman-tijjani-reijnders-eur55m-ac-milan/blt06b5c674fc4fc762" target="_blank">Tijjani Reijnders’ imminent move to Manchester City</a>. Signing the Ballon d'Or winning midfielder would bring leadership, elite experience, and a stopgap solution as the club transitions into a new era. The Croatian legend, despite his age, remains in top physical condition, having played 57 matches in the 2024–25 season.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>In a press conference Modric was asked directly about rumours linking him to Milan. While he stopped short of confirming a move, the Bernabeu legend acknowledged ongoing talks with the the San Siro side, however, insisted his full attention remains on national duty and his current club. </p><p>“I can’t say anything about this," he said. "There have been calls, there have been contacts, but I’ve put everything aside because I want to focus on the national team and what awaits me with Real. I haven’t made a decision yet and I don’t know when I will make it.”</p>

WHAT LUKA MODRIC SAID

<p>With Modric staying tight-lipped and focused on Croatia for now, a final decision is expected shortly after the international window. Should everything proceed smoothly, medical tests could take place within the week, marking the end of a legendary Madrid era and the start of a new Milan chapter.</p>
