Luka Modrić (40) is weighing his options for the upcoming season, with the possibility of continuing his tenure at AC Milan. However, he has stipulated four conditions for extending his contract, according to Italian media. While his loyalty to the club is unquestionable, as he has confirmed himself, he wants assurances that the team will have ambitious goals in his 41st year of life. Modrić is unwilling to continue his career if his role is not significant, and the Italian outlet Sempre Milan reports the specifics of his demands, as per Corriere dello Sport.

Modrić’s Four Conditions

Modrić has outlined four specific conditions for remaining with the Rossoneri. Though they might seem like many demands at first glance, they are closely interlinked and form a cohesive set, according to the Italian reports.

  • He wants to be part of a competitive team capable of competing at the highest level.
  • He desires a team that can perform well in the Champions League.
  • He needs a clearly defined club sports project.
  • He wants to know the status of the coach, Massimiliano Allegri.

Modrić highly values the Italian expert and hopes Allegri remains at the club. Along with this, he expects overall improvements in the club's goals and structure. The Italian media suggests that all these demands would benefit the club in the long term. If Modrić's insistence prompts the management to take decisive action, his popularity among supporters could further increase, concludes Sempre Milan.

Key Player at 40

Modrić joined Milan as a free agent in the summer of 2025 after his contract with Real Madrid expired. Despite being 40, he has been a crucial player for the Italian giants, making 36 appearances, scoring two goals, and providing three assists.

He suffered a severe ankle injury in a clash with Juventus captain Manuel Locatelli towards the end of the season. He underwent surgery and wore a protective mask during training but could play in the final match of Serie A against Cagliari. Milan must confirm their top-four position in this match to secure a Champions League spot for next season.
