Real Madrid star Luka Modric is looking for the fourth club of his career at the age of 39, because it was announced last month that he would leave Los Blancos in the club after 13 years.
Modric would like to play the World Cup 2026 in Mexico, Canada and the US with Croatia, and as such is not going to retire and will look for a destination that will serve him well in that respect. There has been interest from Major League Soccer in the United States and Saudi Aarabia, but it seems that AC Milan is now leading the race for his signature.
New Milan sports director Igli Tare traveled to Croatia to meet Modric, and according to Voetbal Italia an agreement has reached the conditions with the experienced midfielder, who will be 40 in a few months. The deal would be a year with an option to extend another season, and Modric would stand in line to earn around € 3 million per season.
Nevertheless, Modric still has to make the final decision about his future. That is the last of Diario, who say that Modric will take some time to make his decision, aware that several offers will arrive at its door in the coming weeks. Currently, his full focus is on lifting a final title, which would be 29th, with Real Madrid, while striving for the club World Cup.
The Rossoneri will not be in Europe next season, which would give him time on the one hand to charge his batteries during the week, but would rob him of part of the cachet of playing on the European stage. Moreover, Milan is a huge club, in a competitive competition, with a city that suits its family, all the factors that work for a move to San Siro.
