"At 40 years of age, Modric can't physiologically have the dynamism of a 30-year-old, but he's still a player who moves a lot. Also because his role dictates it, a filtering outpost in front of the defence even before being the main man in the build-up. Modric runs, chases, plays alongside, tackles, anticipates, occupies space (nine times out of ten, the right ones, obviously), and, above all, he plays. He plays a lot."
"Against Como, Luka Modric passed the 2,000-minute mark for AC Milan, and he is currently the only outfield player in the squad to do so. La Gazzetta dello Sport report that the final three months of the season will not only see Modric focus on getting Milan back into the Champions League but also reflect on his future, and what he wants to do in view of 2026-27."
"What will the future hold? Well, Modric is very much enjoying playing for the club he loved as a boy, proudly feeling the overwhelming affection of the fans, and carrying out his dual role as player and coach with great professionalism. Some say he could end his career at Dinamo Zagreb, where his old idol Boban awaits him, while others are even predicting his retirement."
Luka Modric has exceeded 2,000 minutes for AC Milan and is the only outfield player to reach that mark. At 40 he lacks the physical dynamism of his thirties but retains high mobility and a role that combines a defensive filtering outpost with playmaking responsibilities. He consistently runs, tackles, anticipates and occupies the right spaces, and Allegri has managed his minutes with occasional rest. Modric enjoys the club and the fans, combines playing with coaching duties, and faces options including a return to Dinamo Zagreb, retirement, or a one-year Milan extension that he can accept or decline.
