Luka Modric has officially extended his tenure at AC Milan, signing a new contract that will keep him at the club until June 2027. The decision comes as the midfielder, who is set to turn 41 in September, looks to help the Rossoneri recover following a challenging 2025-26 season that saw the team fail to qualify for the Champions League.
Reflecting on his choice to continue his career in Milan, the Croatia international expressed his strong emotional connection to the club. In a message shared via the team's official Instagram account, Modric stated that he has felt welcomed and loved since his arrival, which made the prospect of leaving on a low note impossible. He emphasized that the desire to bounce back from the previous campaign is immense, describing the upcoming season as a new challenge and a project he deeply believes in.
The team is set for a significant transition under new leadership, with coach Ruben Amorim taking over the bench from Max Allegri. Amorim played a direct role in securing the Ballon d'Or winner’s return, having held personal discussions with the player to convince him that his future remained at San Siro. Modric noted his pride in wearing the club's colors and his anticipation for the return of the fans' support at the stadium, closing his statement with a message to the supporters: "See you soon. Forza Milan sempre!"
With his current deal expiring on June 30, Modric faced a pivotal moment regarding both his future with the Rossoneri and his professional playing career. By committing to the club for another year, he will remain a key part of the squad until just before his 42nd birthday.
