Veteran Croatian star Luka Modric is preparing to start a new chapter in his football career by moving to the Italian club Milan, after he ended his historical journey with Real Madrid, which spanned 13 seasons full of individual and group titles and achievements.
Historical end in Madrid
Modric left Real Madrid as the most culminated player in the club’s history, after he won 28 titles since joining him from Tottenham Hotspur in the summer of 2012 for 35 million euros. His last participation in the “Royal” shirt was in the 2025 World Cup semi -finals in the United States, which witnessed a harsh loss against Paris Saint -Germain with a clean four.
A new contract with Milan
According to the Spanish newspaper “Mundo Deportivo”, Modric will sign a one -year contract with Milan, in a move aimed at keeping him at a high competitive level, and achieving his primary goal by participating in the 2026 World Cup, hosted by the United States, Canada and Mexico.
Financial sacrifice for the national team
Modric agreed to a significant reduction in his salary compared to what he was receiving with Real Madrid, as his salary last season reached 5 million euros, after he was 10 million in the previous season. His salary in Milan is expected to range between 2.5 and 3 million euros annually, which highlights his adherence to continuing to play at the highest level, despite his financial concessions.
An expected effect in Milan
Modric joined Milan is a great gain for the Italian team, not only with his tremendous experiences as a midfielder, but also in turn and his ability to influence inside the dressing room, especially in the Milan project, which focuses on mixing young talents and tried elements.
