Luka Modric has committed his future to AC Milan by signing a new contract extension through June 2027. The Croatian midfielder, who joined the Rossoneri ahead of the 2023-24 campaign, will remain at San Siro as the club targets a return to Serie A title contention following a disappointing fifth-place finish last term.
Modric Targets Redemption in Milano
The 38-year-old Ballon d'Or winner made 37 appearances for Milan in the previous season, contributing 2 goals from midfield. Despite the club's underperformance, Modric expressed his determination to bounce back. In his statement, he said: "After a season below expectations, the desire to make amends is immense. A new season and a new challenge await us: a project I believe in and one that motivates me."
Modric has become a central figure in Milan's midfield since his arrival, bringing vast Champions League and international experience to the squad. The Croatian has maintained his status as one of football's most respected players, and his continued presence provides stability to the club's rebuild. He will continue wearing the number 14 shirt.
What Comes Next for the Rossoneri
Milan finished fifth in Serie A last season, missing out on direct Champions League qualification. The club now has the opportunity to reconstruct around experienced performers like Modric, whose presence in the dressing room and on the pitch could prove instrumental. The midfielder's contract extension signals Milan's commitment to competing immediately, though significant squad investment will be necessary to challenge league leaders Inter and Juventus.
With the 2024-25 season approaching, Modric's renewal offers Milan a proven international performer capable of guiding younger players through another transitional campaign. The club and player have aligned on shared ambitions to restore the Rossoneri to their previous heights.
