Modric to Remain at Serie A Club for 2026‑27 Season

The 41‑year‑old Croatian star will stay at AC Milan for another campaign after the club announced a contract extension on July 24. The extension pushes his stay to 30 June 2027, giving Milan a seasoned play‑maker as they aim to improve on a fifth‑place league finish. Modric’s arrival in 2023 marked the end of a long and decorated tenure at Real Madrid, where he lifted multiple La Liga titles, four Champions League trophies and the prestigious Ballon d’Or in 2018. In Milan, his 37 Serie A appearances and two goals were not enough to lift the team higher, but his presence in midfield has been highlighted as a key factor in the squad’s tactical balance.
