Luka Modric Expected to Join AC Milan After Club World Cup

Luka Modric, the Croatian captain and seven-time Champions League winner with Real Madrid, is set to leave the club after the upcoming Club World Cup in the USA. Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano confirmed that Modric will undergo a medical and complete formal transfer steps with AC Milan following the tournament, though the midfielder intends to focus fully on Real Madrid until then. Modric is expected to sign a one-year contract with AC Milan, with an option for an additional year, marking the next chapter in his career after nearly 600 appearances for Real Madrid since 2012. Despite earlier speculation linking him to Rangers, the Scottish club has since appointed Russel Martin as head coach, ending rumors involving Modric and Rangers' potential new manager Davide Ancelotti. Modric remains part of Real Madrid's squad for the Club World Cup under new coach Xabi Alonso, demonstrating his commitment to finishing his tenure at the club on a high note. The transfer is widely regarded as a significant move given Modric's status and achievements.
