"Luka Modric is continuing to show that age is just a number after a series of inspiring performances for Milan, including in Sunday night's 2-1 victory over Fiorentina, and now, it looks like the option to extend the Croatian's one-year contract is nothing but good news for the Rossoneri. Modric, who turned 40 in September, was a key player in Milan's 2-1 win over Fiorentina, leading the midfield, showing great vision and a spirit of sacrifice. The Rossoneri veteran won the ball back, controlled the space, and inspired his younger teammates, as he has done all season."
"The Italian press had nothing but positive things to say about the former Ballon d'Or winner after the Fiorentina victory, describing him as an 'ageless champion'. Modric is showing that he is increasingly important within the Milan squad as well: Last night, he praised the returning Rafael Leao for his performance, showing that he is a leader both on and off the pitch. Now, the option to extend Modric's contract for a further 12 months is nothing but good news for Milan, and might, in fact, be a stroke of luck."
Luka Modric could have his stay at AC Milan extended next summer through a pre-agreed one-year contract option that looks likely to be activated. At 40 years old, he has revitalized Milan's midfield with inspiring performances, notably in the 2-1 victory over Fiorentina, where he led the midfield, regained possession, controlled space, and motivated younger teammates. Italian media have labeled him an 'ageless champion'. He has demonstrated leadership on and off the pitch, praising teammates such as Rafael Leao. The extension option represents valuable continuity for Milan and could influence future transfer business and squad planning. The option is seen as a fortunate piece of business for the club.
