Veteran Midfielder Luka Modric Shines in Surprise Milan Move

As of October 1st, 2025, Luka Modric's arrival at AC Milan last summer has proven to be a wise decision for the Serie A club. The 40-year-old Croatian midfielder, who joined Milan on a free transfer after his contract with Real Madrid expired, has quickly silenced the doubters who saw his move as a gamble.

Modric has been a standout performer for the Rossoneri, providing much-needed leadership and quality in the midfield. His experience and technical ability have been instrumental in Milan's strong start to the season, and the club is now reaping the benefits of taking a chance on the former Ballon d'Or winner.

Encouraged by Modric's impact, Milan's sporting director Igli Tare has recently met with the agent of another experienced star, Robert Lewandowski. The 37-year-old Barcelona striker remains prolific in La Liga, but his future at the Catalan club is uncertain as his contract expires at the end of the season. If Lewandowski chooses not to stay at Barcelona, Milan may look to replicate their success with Modric and snap up the Polish forward as well.
