It was at the start of the week that Matteo Moretto revealed Milan’s concrete interest in Modric, who will leave Real Madrid this summer. Since then, many outlets have stated that the deal is as good as done, with the Croatian international keen on the move as well.

During today’s press conference with the Croatian national team, on the eve of the game against the Czech Republic, Modric was asked about the Milan rumours. He made it clear that he hasn’t made any decision yet, despite what the newspapers are saying.

“Milan? I can’t tell you anything about transfers. I want to stay focused on everything ahead with Real and the national team,” he began as cited by @CroatiaFooty.

“I haven’t decided yet, despite the calls and contacts that have happened. That’s the only truth.

“The World Cup is a big motivation, whether it will be the last one for some of us or not, we’ll see. We’ll see if I’ll be at the World Cup.

“I feel good, I’m healthy, and we’ll see where I continue my career. Of course, the desire is great. I haven’t made any decisions yet. I still feel good both physically and mentally,” he concluded.

After the conference, he was also interviewed by national TV and when the reporter mentioned Milan, Modric couldn’t help but bring out a smile. The transfer might not be 100% finalised just yet, but the feeling is indeed that he will end up at San Siro next season.
