Everything is ready at Milan for the arrival of Luka Modric, who joins on a free transfer after his contract with Real Madrid expired. As reported this morning by La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Croatian star will be in Milan at the beginning of next week to complete the final formalities before officially becoming a new Milan player. The midfielder will undergo the usual medical examinations and then sign a one-year contract with an option for a second season with the club, worth €3.5 million plus bonuses.
Modric will then leave for a well-deserved vacation (he played 63 matches this season with Real Madrid!) and will return to Italy on August 4, when he is expected at Milanello to begin training with his new teammates under the orders of Massimiliano Allegri. However, it's not ruled out that he might have an initial meeting with the rest of the Milan squad in the coming days at the Carnago training center, where the Rossoneri are continuing their summer preparations, as relayed via Milannews.it.
Modric is a major signing for AC Milan:
Despite being 39 years old (he will turn 40 in September), this is still a blockbuster signing for Milan, as they bring in a player capable of making a difference in Serie A. Modric, who is highly motivated—especially with the World Cup coming at the end of the season—will also be crucial off the pitch. With his experience, winning mentality, personality, and leadership, he will be a great example and point of reference for the entire Milan dressing room.
