Luka Modrić is edging ever closer to extending his stay at AC Milan. After weeks of discussions and assessments, positive signs have emerged regarding the Croatian midfielder's contract renewal, with the expectation that he could remain with the Rossoneri for next season.
Modrić–Milan: Significant progress in contract talks
According to Sky Sport, the chances of seeing Luka Modrić continue in an AC Milan shirt are steadily increasing. The two parties have made significant progress in negotiations, and an agreement is now said to be close.
Milan have maintained regular contact with the midfielder ever since the end of the season, never allowing discussions to break down. For his part, Modrić has always been open to extending his spell at Milanello. The former Real Madrid star has reportedly been particularly impressed by the atmosphere in Milan and the club's long-term project, to the point that he would like to bring his illustrious playing career to a close with the Rossoneri.
Awaiting the final approval: Modrić could join Milan in Australia
Only one final step remains before the deal can be completed. Modrić, who is currently on holiday following his commitments at the FIFA World Cup, must give his final approval for the agreement to be officially signed.
If he gives the green light, which is expected in the coming days, the Croatian maestro would fly directly to Australia to join his teammates on Milan's pre-season tour, where he would link up with Ruben Amorim's squad and begin preparations for the 2026/27 campaign.
The feeling is that negotiations have now reached their final stages, as relayed via Milan Press. Barring any unexpected developments, Luka Modrić and AC Milan are set to continue together, with the number 10 ready to lead the Rossoneri midfield once again during the 2026/27 season.
