AC Milan’s manager Massimiliano Allegri has announced that Croatian midfielder Luka Modric will be joining the club following Real Madrid’s participation in the Club World Cup. The experienced player, who recently confirmed his decision to conclude a successful 13-year tenure with the Spanish giants, is expected to complete the transfer after the tournament concludes in the United States.
In his initial press conference since returning for a second term as the head coach of AC Milan, Allegri expressed excitement about Modric’s imminent arrival, stating, “Modric will arrive in August. He is an extraordinary player.” This development comes as Modric has played a vital role for Real Madrid, recently making five substitute appearances in the Club World Cup, including a notable match against Borussia Dortmund that paved the way for a semi-final clash with Paris St-Germain.
Notably, the 39-year-old, who has an impressive 28 trophy haul, including six Champions League titles and four La Liga championships since joining Real from Tottenham in 2012, is looking to maintain his competitive edge as he eyes participation in the 2026 World Cup.
This move signals a new chapter for both Modric, who seeks to continue playing at a top level, and AC Milan, which aims to enhance its squad with a player of his caliber. As Modric transitions to Milan, fans can look forward to seeing how his experience and skills will contribute to the team’s ambitions.
