"Another report has claimed that Luka Modric is expected to renew his contract with AC Milan for another year, therefore until 2027. Corriere dello Sport report that Modric arrived at Milan with a clear statement of intent: he wants to win with the Rossoneri and go to the World Cup with Croatia. By November, he was already halfway there as his nation secured direct qualification for next summer's tournament with a match to spare."
"A fifth World Cup, then what? Modric's first World Cup was in 2006 in Germany, he missed the one in 2010, then finished second in the 2018 edition in Russia and third in the 2022 one in Qatar. In the all-time rankings, the former Real Madrid player is in 15th place all time with 19 appearances at the tournament, seven behind leader Leo Messi and three behind Cristiano Ronaldo, the only players in the top 20 who are still active."
"Beyond the statistics and records to break, however, for Modric it was important to be there with the captain's armband on his arm for his country. For this reason he chose Milan, to stay in top physical and mental condition rather than taking more pay from an inferior league. For now, Milan are allowing him to pursue his dreams. Modric is playing with remarkable consistency: in eleven league games, the Croatian has started 11 times."
Luka Modric is expected to renew his AC Milan contract for one year, extending his stay until 2027. He arrived intent on winning with Milan and reaching the next World Cup with Croatia, and Croatia secured direct qualification with a match to spare. He will travel to the United States for the tournament and could return to continue with Milan. Modric has started all eleven league games, accumulating 965 minutes, 91% passing accuracy, one goal and two assists. Allegri uses him as a Regista, combining playmaking and defensive reading, making a brief stay unlikely.
