Soll nach Mailand wechseln: Luka Modric

Overview

  • Sporting director Igli Tare made a “blitz visit” to Croatia to secure Modrić’s verbal agreement and Milan anticipates the transfer will be completed by Thursday evening.
  • Modrić is set to sign a one-year contract with an option for a second season and a reported salary of €3.5 million per year.
  • The move follows the expiration of his 13-year tenure at Real Madrid on June 30, allowing Milan to sign him on a free transfer.
  • A key factor in Modrić’s decision was the opportunity to play under new coach Massimiliano Allegri at San Siro.
  • AC Milan aims to harness Modrić’s experience and trophy pedigree to lift a squad that finished eighth in Serie A and missed out on European qualification last season.
