Croatian star Luka Modric has joined AC Milan on a free transfer after 13 years with Real Madrid, ending his stint following the 2025 Club World Cup.

Luka Modric is going to try and help restore seven-time European champion AC Milan to glory at age 39 after one of the most disappointing Rossoneri seasons in recent memory.

Free since the end of his contract with Real Madrid, the 39-year-old Croatian midfielder has signed a one-year deal, with an option for an additional season.
