Luka Modric Set to Join AC Milan After Real Madrid Farewell

Luka Modrić will join AC Milan after the Club World Cup, ending his legendary Real Madrid career. The 39-year-old featured in 35 matches this season and, despite global offers, chose Milan, a club he admired as a child. The official signing is expected soon following Madrid’s Club World Cup campaign in the United States.

As the curtains draw on Luka Modrić’s legendary tenure at Real Madrid, the Croatian maestro is set to begin a fresh chapter with AC Milan. According to Gianluca Di Marzio, Modrić will officially sign for the Italian club this week following Real Madrid's participation in the Club World Cup in the United States.

The 39-year-old midfielder confirmed earlier that this would be his final season at the Santiago Bernabéu, ending a remarkable era that saw him win multiple major trophies and become a fan favourite. Despite interest from several clubs worldwide, Modrić has chosen Milan—a club he admired during his childhood. This past season, he featured in 35 matches for Los Blancos, proving his quality and leadership still shine at the top level.

His move to Serie A will reunite him with a new challenge in a league known for tactical rigour, possibly extending his storied career even further. AC Milan are expected to finalize the deal in the coming days, and Modrić will link up with them once Madrid concludes their Club World Cup commitments. As he prepares to don the Rossoneri colours, Modrić’s switch marks the end of an era at Real Madrid and the beginning of a sentimental journey in Italy.
