Luka Modric Still Doesn’t Know Where He Will Play Next Year. Will He Stay at Milan?

The Croatian midfielder has to decide his future after the World Cup, and it is still unclear

¿Renewal?

The future of Luka Modric is once again becoming complicated and is at the center of the debate. The former Real Madrid midfielder still hasn't decided whether he will activate his clause to extend his contract with AC Milan for another season.

Modric's contract

Luka Modric would have signed with the Italian club after Real Madrid decided not to renew his contract last summer; in the contract he signed with Milan, there was an option to extend his contract for another year. At this moment, the Croatian has become an essential piece in the Italian team's lineup. And he has lost only one match this season, accumulating 2,456 minutes in Serie A, in addition to participating in the Copa Italia and the Supercopa.

In the previous contract, the Croatian had accepted a significant salary reduction compared to his time at Real Madrid, and he receives between 2.5 and 3 million gross per season at Milan, approximately 2 million less than in his last year in Spain.

How will Modric arrive at the World Cup?

The 40-year-old midfielder maintains his ambition intact and will try to make it to the World Cup in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. If he decides to stay with the club, his contract would be extended until June 2027, when he will be about to turn 42 years old.
