On July 23, 2026, AC Milan announced that midfielder Luka Modric has signed a contract extension, keeping him with the club until June 2027. The 40-year-old Croatian player joined Milan on a one-year deal last year and has made 37 appearances, scoring two goals. Modric, a 2018 Ballon d'Or winner, had a successful career at Real Madrid, where he won 28 major trophies. He is considered Croatia's greatest player, having earned 202 caps and scoring 29 goals. Modric participated in his 10th major international tournament at the 2026 World Cup, where Croatia was defeated by Portugal in the round of 32. Milan, who finished fifth in Serie A last season, appointed former Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim to improve their performance.
