Luka Modric will be one of AC Milan’s signings for the midfield this summer and despite his age, the Croatian international is eager to get started with the Rossoneri.
Although it hasn’t been announced by Milan yet, Igli Tare confirmed during a recent press conference that an agreement has been reached with Modric. His contract with Real Madrid will expire at the end of the month but he wanted to complete the Club World Cup adventure first.

As a result, Samuele Ricci will end up being the first signing for the summer, but Modric will follow shortly after. Despite being 39 years old, set to turn 40 in September, the midfielder is eager to get started with the red and black shirt.
New-found enthusiasm
As told by Carlos Passerini on his YouTube channel, Modric is looking forward to wearing the shirt he has always supported since he was a kid. While it’s clear that his experience will be the most important thing, he might surprise some of us with his performances as well…
“Modric has been signed. For me, he will be a surprise. I expect a lot as he will be key to this new Milan side, I have had confirmation from those close to him that the player is very excited.
“He has no intention of coming to Milan to collect his pension. He will make his contribution and many will be surprised by this contribution,” he stated.
It remains to be seen what Modric can do at San Siro but there is no doubting his qualities, even at the age of 39.
39 year you are joke day at day
4- 3- 3
Bartezaghi – Pavlovic – Gabbia – Jimenez
RLC – Pulisic – Ricci
Chukwueze – Modric – Leao
Modric as CF?? Hahahaha 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Dumbest Fifa kid on the internet
That back line will let in 100 goals lol. Your crazy bro
Juro…He has both players on the wrong wings unless we expect to attack with our back line 🥴 maybe we are looking to establish a record for own goals….who knows, maybe he just nailed a stroke of genius and his ideas can revolutionize football..
Got the stroke part right
We won’t stand a chance with your formation. That’s terrible.
No Gk lol 😆 🤣 😅 😄 🙃
Way the modestest ever
@Mirjalol, don’t bother yourself with clownish comments.
I think he will do great, but we are dead without a proper CDM.
Who might it be?
Our signing of Modric honestly made me believe signing Xhaka at 32/33 isn’t a bad idea. I mean we can still get the best of him for the next 2 seasons
Don’t really care. Shouldn’t be signing 40 year old players that clearly passed their prime, as this is a short-sighted vision of the club’s future.
If he wants to continue playing, why can’t he impress the american public in MLS, for instance.
Yes it was dumb signing Ibra at 40. Oh wait we won the Scudetto that year.
I agree and Simon Kjær at 32 year
Don’t forget Giroud whose career was completely over and hasn’t scored in the France National either. Oh, wait…
It was quite dumb, truth to be told.
For Now :
Maignan
Jimenez Gabbia Thiaw Barthesaghi
Ricci
Modric RLC
Pulisic Leao
Gimenez
Future (hope) :
Maignan
Dodo/Saele Gabbia Leoni/Comuzzo De Cuyper
Ricci Jashari
Modric/Guerra
Pulisic (orsolini) Leao
Gyokerez
Yea…We’ll be surprised how far away from prime Modric he will be
