Modrić Says Yes to Milan: Signing Is Imminent
Great news from the Milan camp on the contract renewal front. Luka Modrić has made his decision: the Croatian midfielder will remain at the Rossoneri for another season. According to information gathered, the player has confided his intention to continue with Milan to close friends, and the signing of the new contract is expected within this week. We are 99% of the way there — only the final formalities remain.
A One-Year Deal Worth Around €3.5 Million Plus Bonuses
The renewal will be for one year, with a salary in the region of €3.5 million plus bonuses. A carefully considered investment by the Rossoneri board to retain a player who, despite his age, continues to offer top-level technical and character guarantees. Modrić turns 41 in September: with this extension, it seems highly likely that he will close his extraordinary playing career wearing the Milan shirt, as the contract expires on 30 June next year, by which point he will be approaching 42.
A Reference Point for the Dressing Room
In recent weeks, several teammates had reached out to find out what his decision would be — a clear sign of just how much Modrić is a cornerstone of the group. Until a few days ago, the door was still open in both directions, but now the choice has been made. Physically, the Croatian Ballon d’Or winner is still in excellent shape, motivated and capable of making an impact: his international experience — built at Real Madrid, with Croatia, and now at Milan — is a value that goes well beyond statistics.
Milan Bets on Continuity
Modrić’s confirmation fits into a broader club strategy, with the board banking on continuity and experience as pillars of the technical project under Amorim. Having a player of the Croatian’s calibre in the squad means having a beacon in midfield, capable of managing pressure in decisive moments and passing on a winning mentality to younger players.
As previously reported, Ibrahimović personally called Modrić to convince him to stay: that conversation has evidently made the difference. Now only the official announcement is missing, but Rossoneri fans can already smile: Luka Modrić is still Milan.
