On June 27, the 39-year-old Croatian midfielder Luka Modric will end his glorious chapter with Real Madrid in the summer of 2025 and start a new journey. According to well-known transfer expert Fabrizio Romano on social media, Modric has reached a verbal agreement with Serie A giants AC Milan and is expected to officially sign after the Club World Cup.

With the end of this season's La Liga, Real Madrid has already confirmed that Modric will leave the team in the summer, and the Club World Cup will be his " farewell performance " at the Bernabeu . Despite being 39 years old, Modric still shows excellent competitive form and has attracted the interest of many clubs from the Major League Soccer, Saudi Professional League, and other five major leagues. But the midfield master finally chose to stay in the European arena, maintain his form at a higher level of competition rhythm, and prepare for the upcoming 2026 World Cup.

According to Romano's report, Modric will undergo a physical examination at AC Milan after the World Cup and officially join the Rossoneri. Although the details of the contract have not yet been fully disclosed, the two sides have basically finalized all the terms and the transfer has entered the final stage.

AC Milan has been lacking a true core player in midfield organization in recent years, and Modric's joining is undoubtedly a high-level " technical poverty alleviation " . In the context of Milan having no European war mission next season, the rhythm of one game a week will help Modric get more stable playing time and continue his top performance.

This transfer not only means that Modric's career will continue to shine in Italy, but also injects more star power into Serie A. It is worth looking forward to that the midfield duel in the new season will usher in a new highlight - Modric and Belgian midfielder De Bruyne, who has just joined Naples, will compete at the top in Serie A, which is exciting.

Since joining Real Madrid in 2012, Modric has won numerous honors for the team, including 5 Champions League trophies, 3 La Liga titles and 1 Ballon d'Or. His professionalism, court wisdom and technical style have long won the unanimous respect of fans and peers. This move to Milan will not only continue his career, but will also set off another wave of " Modric whirlwind " in Serie A.
