Luka Modrić Signs New One-Year Contract with AC Milan

Luka Modrić has extended his stay at AC Milan after signing a one-year contract extension that will keep him at the Serie A club until the end of the 2026/27 season.

The new agreement reflects the club's confidence in the Croatian veteran despite him approaching his 41st birthday.

The experienced midfielder joined the Rossoneri in 2025 following the end of his legendary spell at Real Madrid.

During his debut campaign in Italy, Modrić made 37 appearances and contributed two goals, bringing leadership, creativity, and composure to Milan's midfield.

Regarded as one of the finest midfielders of his generation, Modrić has enjoyed an extraordinary career filled with major honours.

He famously won the Ballon d'Or in 2018 after guiding Croatia to the FIFA World Cup final, ending the long-standing dominance of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo in the award.

His glittering career also includes six UEFA Champions League titles with Real Madrid, where he became one of the club's greatest-ever players over more than a decade in Spain.

AC Milan's decision to retain Modrić comes as the club prepares for a fresh start under new manager Ruben Amorim.

After finishing fifth in Serie A last season, the Italian giants have strengthened their squad with several new arrivals as they aim to challenge for domestic and European honours.

Although he is in the final stages of his playing career, Modrić continues to demonstrate his quality and professionalism at the highest level.

His experience is expected to play a vital role in guiding Milan's younger players while providing stability in midfield.

The contract extension ensures that one of football's most accomplished midfielders will continue wearing the famous red-and-black shirt for at least another season as he adds another chapter to his remarkable career.
