Luka Modric More Likely to Stay at AC Milan
July 6, 2026
The possibility of Luka Modric staying at AC Milan is increasing. The Croatian star, who had positive meetings with the management, is considering continuing his career in Milan rather than returning to Real Madrid.
According to news from Italy, the possibility of Luka Modric staying in AC Milan is increasing. The Croatian veteran is inclined to continue his career with AC Milan and does not plan to return to Real Madrid. Although it is stated that the 40-year-old player has not made a final decision yet, hopes are increasing that he will stay in Milan.
It is stated that AC Milan owner Gerry Cardinale personally contacted Modric and encouraged him to stay for another season. It was also learned that new coach Ruben Amorim spoke directly with the Real Madrid legend, explaining his plans for the team and emphasizing Modric's important role in the project. These efforts are reportedly having a positive impact on the Ballon d'Or-winning footballer.
It is stated that Modric is very enthusiastic about the possibility of staying in Milan for another year. The Croatian has not publicly confirmed that he will retire in the summer, but it is thought that he is increasingly likely to continue his career. His decision to stay at Milan will postpone his return to Real Madrid. It is known that the Spanish club wants to bring Modric back as a coach or part of the sports structure in the near future.
Following Croatia's elimination from the FIFA World Cup, speculation about the veteran midfielder's potential retirement increased, bringing up the possibility of a return to the Santiago Bernabeu. However, if Modric chooses to extend his time in Italy, that return will have to wait a while longer. The legendary midfielder looks set to compete at the top level for at least one more season. However, the door still remains open for a future return. Modric left Real Madrid last summer, ending his successful 13-year career with the Spanish giants.
