Luka Modric signed an initial one-year deal with AC Milan after 13 successful years at Real Madrid, where he won 28 major trophies. Modric expressed a desire to continue playing competitive football in Europe, choosing Milan over other offers. Despite being 39 years old, he showed impressive performance with 57 appearances and 13 goal involvements for Madrid in the 2024-25 season. He joined a Milan team that underperformed last season, emphasizing the need to compete for titles and expressing his ongoing hunger for success.
I wanted to stay in Europe, to continue playing competitive football. I had some other offers but when Milan showed up for me, it was clear from the first moment.
Milan cannot be satisfied with average and need to have the biggest goals possible, to win titles, to compete with the best teams in the world. That's why I am here.
I'm never satisfied, I always want more. When you've experienced that feeling (of winning), you want to feel it even more. I still have hunger, desire, still wanting more.
Across all competitions in 2024-25, he set his season-high number of appearances for Los Blancos (57), and had 13 goal involvements (four goals, nine assists).
