Luka Modrić Is Staying at AC Milan — Contract Extended Until 2027

AC Milan have officially locked in one of the most experienced midfielders in world football for another season.

The club confirmed on 23 July 2026 that Luka Modrić has signed a new deal that runs until 30 June 2027. The Croatian maestro will continue wearing the famous number 14 shirt for the Rossoneri.

Why This Matters

Since joining Milan, Modrić has been a calm, classy presence in midfield. Last season he made 37 appearances and scored 2 goals, bringing leadership, vision and big-game temperament to a young squad.

Milan’s statement highlighted exactly that: “A key figure in the Rossoneri midfield since his arrival, Luka has brought his experience and quality to the service of the team, both on and off the pitch, with humility and great passion.”

At an age when most players are winding down, Modrić is still delivering at the highest level — and Milan clearly want that continuity as they push for more trophies.

The Bigger Picture

This is classic late-career Modrić: still demanding high standards, still influencing games, and still hungry for success. Extending him gives Milan a reliable leader in the middle of the park while younger players continue to develop around him.

One of the finest midfielders of his generation will remain a Rossonero for at least one more campaign.
