Luka Doncic has been stunning the fans ever since his transfer from Real Madrid. Following his amazing performances at the Italian club, it was expected that the Croatian would be staying at the club for one more year. Meanwhile, the franchise has dropped a huge update on the midfielder’s future.
AC Milan’s huge update on Luka Modric’s future
AC Milan sporting director Igli Tare expressed strong optimism that the club will keep 40-year-old Luka Modrić at the club beyond the current campaign, signaling the veteran midfielder's likely extension for next season.
Tare told that he is “confident, very optimistic” that Modrić will sign a new deal and stay for 2026-27. The Croatian playmaker joined Milan in July 2025 on a one-year contract with an option for an additional season after leaving Real Madrid. He has impressed in Serie A and European competitions despite his age, providing leadership, midfield control, and experience as the Rossoneri push for Champions League qualification.
The extension option remains with the club and player, and sources indicate Modrić has settled well in Milan, enjoying his role under the current setup. His continued presence would offer stability and know-how to a squad blending youth and ambition.
Modrić, a Ballon d’Or winner and Real Madrid legend with over a decade at the Spanish club, arrived in Milan as a free agent seeking a new challenge. His performances this season have quieted doubts about his age, reinforcing his value as one of football’s most intelligent and technically gifted midfielders even into his 40s. A decision on the extension is expected in the coming weeks as the season winds down.
