Luka Modric is officially a new Milan player
Legendary Croatia international Luka Modric has officially signed for Milan as a free agent on a one-year contract with option to extend.
The midfielder had agreed personal terms last month, but waited until his FIFA Club World Cup commitments with Real Madrid had concluded before completing the move.
He flew in this morning to undergo medical tests with both the club and the local authorities, before putting pen to paper on a one-year contract, with an option to extend to the summer of 2027.

That means he could be 41 years old by the time the deal comes to an end.
Modric will wear the Number 14 jersey at San Siro.
