Modric on Milan renewal: 'I played for Real Madrid, but I feel like Milan are at the same level'
Luka Modric has expressed strong satisfaction with his time at AC Milan as negotiations over a contract extension advance. The 39-year-old Croatian midfielder, who joined Milan on a free transfer from Real Madrid in the summer of 2025, stated that while he had the privilege of playing for Real Madrid, he considers Milan to be operating at a comparable level. His comments underscore a clear willingness to extend his stay in Serie A, providing Milan with a significant boost as they look to retain one of the most decorated midfielders in football history.

A renewal for a Ballon d'Or-winning midfielder — even at this stage of his career — reinforces Milan's technical quality and dressing-room leadership, and signals stability heading into the next campaign.
