Modrić Nears San Siro: Milan Court the Croat Maestro as Reijnders Departure Looms

Luka Modrić has confirmed that “there have been calls and contacts” with AC Milan, yet the 39-year-old insists no final decision will be taken until Croatia’s international window closes. Even at his age, the midfield virtuoso remains a statistical marvel: he played 57 competitive matches for Real Madrid in 2024-25, scoring four times and providing nine assists in 2,864 minutes, while sustaining a pass-completion rate of about 90 percent. Over his club career he has featured in 521 games, tallying 43 goals and 75 assists, and his 187 Croatia caps underline a depth of experience few midfielders can match.

Milan’s interest has sharpened because Serie A Midfielder of the Season Tijjani Reijnders is poised for a €55 million switch to Manchester City, leaving Stefano Pioli’s squad—average age just 26.4 years—without a proven on-ball orchestrator. Modrić’s six Champions League titles and 2018 Ballon d’Or pedigree promise an immediate lift in leadership and technical quality. Negotiations focus on a one-year contract with an option for a second season, and medical tests could be scheduled as soon as the international break ends—potentially closing a 13-year Bernabéu chapter and opening a new one at San Siro.
