At almost 41 years old, Luka Modrić continues to weigh on the market. Author of a solid season under the colors of AC Milan, the Croatian midfielder sees the Lombard club actively pushing for him to activate the option of an additional year included in his contract. According to Marcamanagers, staff and locker room are campaigning for its extension until 2027. Informal discussions have already started with those around him. If retirement or departure outside Europe remain secondary scenarios, the final decision rests solely with the 2018 Ballon d’Or.
On the pitch, Modríc is not content to be a symbol: he performs. A regular in Serie A, he has already exceeded 2,000 minutes in all competitions and remains an essential cog in Massimiliano Allegri’s system. Tactical intelligence, passing quality and leadership make him a pillar of the Rossonero project. His influence even goes beyond the green rectangle, with the Italian media highlighting his major role in the locker room and in supporting young talents. Milan wants to continue the adventure; It now remains to be seen whether the Croatian maestro will choose to extend the pleasure for one more season.
