Renewal in Focus: Milan and Modrić
The password guiding Milan's bond with the Croatian star.
The renewal file for the Croatian veteran Luka Modrić with Milan has shown notable progress lately.
The 40-year-old midfielder has become essential to Milan's midfield this season, delivering experience and calm in a busy campaign.
Milan hopes to extend Modrić's contract after Real Madrid exit last year, on a one-year deal.
According to the Italian outlet Calcio Mercato, optimism is growing that Modrić will stay, underpinned by a solid, respectful dynamic with coach Massimiliano Allegri.
The report argues Allegri's relationship with Modrić is key, mixing trust with a shared goal of keeping Milan competitive.
With Modrić approaching 41 in September, his love for the game could keep him another year.
The current terms reportedly include a clause allowing extension to 2027 and a salary around 4.5 million euros, contingent on Milan's qualification for the Champions League next season.
Punchline: Even if his legs slow, his football brain still writes the script—talk about a slow burn turning into a hot streak.
Punchline 2: Modrić as mentor, agent, and translator—three roles, one midfield. Translation: everyone understands him, even the off-side.
