Milan ready with new contract offer for Modric, Croatian star | OneFootball

After qualifying for the World Cup, Luka considers continuity with the Rossoneri: Allegri sees him as indispensable

Milan, Modric looks to the future: renewal proposal ready for the Croatian champion

When Luka Modric arrived at Milan, he set two clear goals: to compete for a trophy with the Rossoneri and to be in the best possible shape for the 2026 World Cup. Just a few months later, the Croatian star can already check off the first half of his plan: Croatia, by defeating the Faroe Islands, has secured a spot in the World Cup with a game to spare. Now, the journey in Milan remains, where Modric is not only meeting expectations but is establishing himself as a technical and mental pillar of Allegri's team.

Modric and the World Cup: a continuing story

The United States will mark the fifth World Cup participation for the Croatian captain. From his debut in 2006, through the second place in 2018 and third in 2022, Modric has built a historic path, becoming one of the most present players ever in the competition.

"Being at the World Cup is a responsibility before an achievement," confided those close to him in the past.

Beyond statistics, what matters to him is arriving at the event in ideal conditions. This is precisely one of the reasons that led him to choose Milan, preferring it over destinations with less competitive demands: he needed a team that would guarantee him rhythm, ambition, and continuity at the highest level.

A central role in Allegri's Milan

So far, the choice has proven perfect. Modric has played all eleven league matches, always as a starter, totaling 965 minutes, one goal, two assists, and an impressive 91% passing accuracy. Allegri has placed him in front of the defense, a complete playmaker capable of anticipating situations, dictating the pace, and improving the team's overall balance.

"He gives us order, personality, and phase reading. He is a player who cannot be replaced," the coach reportedly confided to several collaborators.

Performances and continuity that unequivocally defy his age: at almost 40 years old, Modric still delivers top-level performance.

The idea of renewal: Milan wants to continue with him

His centrality in the technical project has prompted the Rossoneri management to initiate the first discussions for a possible contract extension. A proposal not yet formalized but already outlined in intentions: Milan wants to keep Modric for at least another season.

The final decision, of course, will be up to the player, who first wants to finish the year by trying to win a trophy with the Rossoneri and then face the World Cup as the technical and emotional leader of the "dark horse" Croatia.

"Every choice must be made at the right time," Modric himself has reiterated multiple times, aware of the weight his name carries.
