AC Milan's crucial week: Modrić future, Leão sale, Champions or Europa League prospects

AC Milan Luka Modrić Rafael Leão Champions League ownership

In late May 2026 AC Milan faces a decisive period as it weighs Luka Modrić's future with the club and the possible sale of forward Rafael Leão. The team must also determine whether it will compete in the Champions League or the Europa League next season.

Club owner Gerry Cardinale and management are handling ownership questions, with reports that a minority stake from RedBird or the Ellison family is unlikely. Zlatan Ibrahimović is not expected to gain full decision‑making authority, and former sporting director Igli Tare's influence remains limited. Financially, Milan is open to offers for Leão, with interest cited from Saudi Arabian and Turkish buyers, while the club seeks to balance its transfer spending.

These strategic choices could shape Milan's squad and European ambitions heading into the new season.
