According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, AC Milan has approached former Real Madrid star Luka Modric, who is now a free agent. The 39-year-old Croatian midfielder is reportedly considering the move as an opportunity to fulfill his childhood dream of playing at San Siro.
Modric`s illustrious 13-year career with Real Madrid has come to an end, during which he won numerous accolades and established himself as one of the world`s best midfielders. Despite his age, Modric is eager to continue his playing career, with Inter Miami and Al-Nassr also showing interest.
Romano reports that Milan`s new sporting director, Igli Tare, has reached out to Modric to gauge his interest in joining Serie A and playing at the iconic San Siro stadium. As a free agent, Milan could potentially offer Modric an attractive salary package, possibly supplemented by sponsorship deals.
MilanNews.it highlights that Modric has previously expressed his support for AC Milan since childhood, which could be a factor in his decision. Former Milan executive Zvonimir Boban once revealed, “Modric is a true `Milanista`. He`s been one since he was young and had a strong desire to come here, but it never materialized seriously. He didn`t want to leave Real after one disappointing season.”
Milan`s coach, Max Allegri, is also reportedly keen on working with the Croatian international. The potential move would mark a new chapter in Modric`s career, having previously played in Croatia, England with Tottenham, and Spain with Real Madrid.
As the transfer window progresses, all eyes will be on Modric`s decision, with AC Milan hoping to secure the services of the experienced midfielder for the upcoming season.
