Luka Modrić has verbally agreed to sign a new contract with AC Milan, with the Croatian legend deciding to continue his playing career rather than retire. The experienced midfielder has already given the club the green light, and only the final formalities remain before the extension is officially completed.
Softfootball reports that Modrić is expected to sign a new short-term deal in the coming days after positive discussions with the Milan hierarchy.
The veteran midfielder has also spoken with Rúben Amorim, while his decision follows an impressive start to life at the San Siro, including scoring his first AC Milan goal to seal a victory over Bologna, further demonstrating his enduring quality and importance to the Rossoneri.
Despite approaching the latter stages of his illustrious career, Modrić continues to prove he can perform at the highest level. His leadership, composure and wealth of experience remain invaluable assets for Milan as they compete on both domestic and European fronts.
The contract extension reflects AC Milan’s confidence in the former Ballon d’Or winner, who remains a key figure on and off the pitch.
Once the paperwork is completed, Modrić will officially extend his stay at the club, continuing a remarkable career that has seen him remain among football’s elite for nearly two decades
