A sensational move, a sensational idea, a strong suggestion – call it what you will, but the latest option for Massimiliano Allegri's new AC Milan midfield is none other than Luka Modrić.
The Croatian midfielder, who has just bid farewell to the Bernabéu and will definitively leave Real Madrid after the Club World Cup, aims to play in the 2026 World Cup in the USA, Mexico, and Canada in the best possible shape. He's ready to embark on a new adventure as a free agent.
Igli Tare is aware of this and is reportedly considering making an attempt, knowing well that the 2018 Ballon d'Or winner has never hidden his affection for the Rossoneri jersey, famously worn by his idol Zvonimir Boban.
Therefore, Milan isn't just any club for Modrić, and a phone call would undoubtedly tempt him. While competition for a free agent of his caliber is obvious, Milan's absence from European competitions appears to be the biggest obstacle. This is because the Croatian isn't seeking a lucrative contract, and his arrival would undoubtedly add class, personality, and invaluable experience to the "red and black" squad.
For the moment, there are no ongoing negotiations, also because Modrić is in no rush to make a decision. His immediate focus is the Club World Cup, the final commitment of his legendary career with Real Madrid. After that, he'll turn his attention to the future and the final chapter of his illustrious career.
