Luka Modrić Nears New Contract with AC Milan

Croatian midfielder Luka Modrić, who turned 41 in September, is close to signing a new one‑year deal with AC Milan after his previous contract expired on 30 June 2026. Club officials and new manager Ruben Amorim have repeatedly urged him to stay, emphasizing his leadership and role in the team’s project. Negotiations have progressed, with reports indicating the clubs are aligning on a salary similar to the €3.5‑4 million net he earned last season, plus performance‑related bonuses.
