AC Milan announced that Luka Modrić has signed a one-year contract extension to stay with the Rossoneri until June 30, 2027, keeping him in shirt number 14. The 40-year-old midfielder, who joined Milan on a free transfer from Real Madrid, made 37 appearances and scored two goals in his first season in Italy. Milan described Modrić as a key figure whose experience and quality benefited the team as it enters a new era under coach Ruben Amorim. Modrić has captained Croatia and featured in Croatia’s World Cup campaign, reinforcing his standing as one of the game’s iconic players. He expressed enthusiasm to bounce back from a season that fell short of expectations and to contribute to Milan’s ambitions in the coming season. The extension solidifies Modrić’s ongoing commitment to Milan as the club rebuilds for the 2026-27 campaign.
