Luka Modrić's Milan Future Hinges on Champions League Guarantees
AC Milan’s 40‑year‑old midfielder Luka Modrić has told the club he will decide his future based on two non‑negotiable conditions: a guaranteed place in next season’s Champions League and continuity in the technical project, notably the retention of coach Massimiliano Allegri. The Croatian, a former Real Madrid star, is praised for his on‑field quality and leadership in a relatively young Milan squad.
The club is actively negotiating to keep Modrić, stressing his importance for morale and performance as they approach the season’s final matches, including a decisive game against Cagliari that could secure direct Champions League qualification. Failure to meet Modrić’s demands could trigger his departure and impact Milan’s strategic plans and transfer budget for the summer.
