The summer transfer window is currently open, and football fans are giddy with anticipation about the future of one player in particular—Luka Modric. The legendary Croatian footballer may now be aiming for AC Milan after his recent exit from Real Madrid made supporters melancholy.
Insiders claim that the new AC Milan management is seriously considering adding Modric to the team. Modric’s name has already come up in early strategy sessions as a possible game-changer, and the Rossoneri are keen to recover from a disappointing season without European participation.
The recently hired director of AC Milan, Igli Tare, seemed especially eager to sign Modric. The 39-year-old midfielder has drawn interest from teams worldwide since saying goodbye to Real Madrid. Modric, meanwhile, appears unconcerned and is carefully considering his next move.
The Croatian maestro may be tempted to complete his illustrious career at another elite club, even though Milan hasn’t entered the race of suitors for Modric’s contract yet.
The powerful Mexican striker Santiago Gimenez, who joined AC Milan during the most recent winter transfer window, would be Modric’s teammate if he were to don the red and black jersey.
Even if Modric’s final season at Real Madrid signaled the end of an era, he will formally leave the team after the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup.
There were rumors that Modric will join Lionel Messi at Inter Miami in the MLS before Milan’s interest sparked. The football world will be closely observing the Croatian legend as he shapes the next chapter of his legendary career over the next several weeks, with a potential position in Croatia’s squad for the 2026 World Cup.
