Croatian midfielder Luka Modric is reportedly set to join Italian giants AC Milan following his departure from Real Madrid, according to reliable sources.

As reported by Di Marzio, Modric is expected to sign his contract as a new AC Milan player tomorrow, with the Serie A club confident of finalizing the deal within the next 24 hours.

The 2018 Ballon d'Or winner played his final LaLiga match for Real Madrid last month against Real Sociedad, bringing an end to his illustrious career with the Spanish giants after failing to reach a contract extension agreement.

Legendary Career at the Bernabeu

During his time at the Santiago Bernabeu, Modric established himself as one of the greatest midfielders of his generation, winning an impressive six UEFA Champions League titles among numerous other trophies.

The former Tottenham Hotspur star became known for his exceptional vision, passing ability, and leadership on the pitch, playing a crucial role in Real Madrid's domestic and European successes over the past decade.

According to reports, Modric will officially leave Real Madrid after the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which is scheduled to begin later this month.

New Chapter in Serie A

The move to AC Milan represents a new challenge for the 38-year-old midfielder, who will bring his wealth of experience and technical ability to the Italian league.

Milan, who have been working to strengthen their squad ahead of the new season, will benefit from Modric's proven winning mentality and his ability to control games from midfield.

Football fans across Nigeria and worldwide will be watching closely to see how the Croatian maestro adapts to Serie A after spending over a decade in Spanish football.
