Luka Modric has renewed his contract with AC Milan for another year, as reported by [Gazzetta dello Sport](https://www.gazzetta.it/Calcio/Serie-A/Milan/21-07-2026/milan-modric-rinnovo-firma-tournee-australia.shtml). The Croatian midfielder, who turns 41 in September, will sign shortly and join the squad for the preseason tour in Australia.
Modric will leave the Croatian national team on October 6, after the Nations League match against Spain, dedicating himself exclusively to Milan for the 2026-27 season. The retirement after 20 years of international football marks an era-defining moment for Croatian football.
The renewal ends speculation about a possible departure after Milan's disappointing season, which saw them miss Champions League qualification and exit the Club World Cup in the round of 32.
