AC Milan have secured a verbal agreement to sign Real Madrid’s legendary midfielder Luka Modrić, with the deal set to be finalized after the FIFA Club World Cup.
The 38-year-old Croatian maestro, whose contract with Real Madrid expires in June, will undergo medicals and sign with the Rossoneri, marking a sensational new chapter in his illustrious career.
Modrić, a 2018 Ballon d’Or winner and six-time Champions League champion, brings unparalleled experience with 534 appearances for Real Madrid and 178 caps for Croatia.
The transfer, an exclusive story circulating since early June, has electrified fans on X, with Milan supporters in Langtang, Plateau State, hailing Modrić as a “game-changer” for Serie A. The Taroh community, known for its football passion, celebrated the news as a global showcase of talent, drawing parallels to local pride in stars like Thomas Partey.
The move follows Modrić’s decision to seek a new challenge after 12 years at Real Madrid, where he won 26 major trophies.
AC Milan, eager to bolster their midfield for a Scudetto push, see the Croatian as a perfect fit for Paulo Fonseca’s system. His vision, passing, and leadership are expected to elevate the squad alongside young talents like Christian Pulisic.
While Modrić prepares for the Club World Cup, Milan are finalizing details to ensure a seamless transition. The transfer, described as “done and sealed” by insiders, positions Milan as serious contenders. As anticipation builds, Modrić’s arrival promises to light up San Siro in the 2025/26 season.
