Modric and Allegri share a close relationship marked by mutual respect and admiration. Modric wants to keep playing for another season after the World Cup, then end his career and join Allegri’s staff. Allegri is open to continuing but requires a healthier environment and clearer command structure to confirm his stay. Champions League qualification is central for both; failure to finish in the top four would lead to their departure. In that scenario, Modric could spend another year elsewhere before rejoining Allegri the following season. The Cagliari match is therefore crucial because it can shape the project and their permanence. Modric’s recovery efforts for the season finale have boosted the team, and he is expected to start with a protective mask.

Only then will his permanence be assured. Above all, the Champions League is key for both. If Milan fail to finish in the top four, then both Allegru and Modric will leave. In that case, the former Real Madrid player could say goodbye and spend another year elsewhere, before rejoining Allegri the following season in a role on his staff."
"Therefore, the match against Cagliari becomes even more important because, beyond the sporting result, it will impact the project and the permanence of Modric and Allegri. The former Real Madrid man's recovery for the final match of the season has inspired the team. Modric could have preserved himself to avoid risks and prepare as best he could for the start of the World Cup, but instead he worked daily to recover faster than planned.
