Luka Modric's illustrious 13-year career with Real Madrid is set to conclude following the 2025 Club World Cup, with a move to AC Milan seemingly imminent. The Croatian midfielder, who turned 40 earlier this year, will be joining the Rossoneri in a move that highlights his desire to continue competing at the highest level of European football.

Reports indicate that Modric and AC Milan have already reached a verbal agreement, with only a medical examination remaining before the transfer is officially confirmed. This news has been widely reported by reputable sources, including transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano and Italian media outlets such as 'Gianluca Di Marzio,' 'Sky Italia,' and 'Calciomercato,' further solidifying the credibility of the transfer.

AC Milan's pursuit of Modric reflects their ambition to strengthen their midfield and add leadership to their squad. The club recently saw key midfielder Tijani Reinders depart for Manchester City, creating a void that they believe Modric can fill. Milan has reportedly attempted to acquire Modric in the past, and they are now expressing strong confidence in finalizing the deal.

Milan's sporting director, Igli Tare, has been particularly vocal about the impending arrival of Modric. Tare emphasized Modric's leadership qualities and competitive spirit, stating that the Croatian midfielder's desire to win titles aligns perfectly with AC Milan's ambitions. Tare also revealed that Modric specifically asked about the team's competitiveness and their aspirations to win the Serie A title, demonstrating his commitment to joining a team with high ambitions.

Modric's decision to join AC Milan is also influenced by emotional factors. Reports suggest that Modric idolized Zvonimir Boban, a Croatian football legend who played for AC Milan in the 1990s. This childhood admiration may have played a significant role in his decision to move to the San Siro.

While AC Milan's failure to qualify for the UEFA Champions League next season could have been a deterrent, the club has reportedly emphasized to Modric that he will have the opportunity to exert his influence on the European stage and compete for major trophies. AC Milan finished eighth in Serie A last season and lost the Coppa Italia final against Bologna. The club believes that Modric's experience and leadership will be invaluable as they aim to improve their performance in the upcoming season.

Modric bid farewell to Real Madrid fans after their final La Liga home match, hinting at his departure and marking the end of an era at the Santiago Bernabéu. During his time with Real Madrid, Modric won an impressive 28 major trophies, including six Champions League titles, four La Liga championships, and two Copa del Rey titles. In 2018, he won the Ballon d'Or, solidifying his status as one of the greatest midfielders of his generation.

At 40 years old, Modric's technical skills, tactical intelligence, and work ethic remain exceptional. His ability to control the ball, deliver precise passes, and read the game make him a valuable asset to any team. Defensively, he is known for his wide range of activity, positioning, and interception skills, earning him the reputation of a complete midfielder.

As Modric prepares to embark on a new chapter in his career with AC Milan, the football world eagerly anticipates his arrival in Italy. His experience, leadership, and unwavering desire to compete at the highest level will undoubtedly make him a valuable addition to the Rossoneri, as they aim to reclaim their status as one of the top clubs in Europe.
