AC Milan Eyes Luka Modrić Transfer

AC Milan’s new sporting director, Igli Tare, wants to sign Luka Modrić. The Croatian midfielder is being discussed in meetings at Casa Milan.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Luka Modrić became a target for AC Milan after leaving Real Madrid. The club’s new sporting director, Igli Tare, has included Modrić in internal talks as he rebuilds the squad. Since becoming a free agent, Modrić has received offers from many clubs but hasn’t chosen his next team yet. The 39-year-old midfielder could join Milan’s “reset” after a poor 2024-25 season.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Tare wants Modrić as part of a major rebuild at Milan, who finished eighth in Serie A and missed European qualification for the first time since 2019. Tare, who previously worked at Lazio for 15 years, signed a three-year contract with Milan on May 26. He is known for signing top talents like Ciro Immobile, Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, and Miroslav Klose.

Milan has made other changes, including reportedly adding Massimiliano Allegri to the coaching staff and letting Sergio Conceicao leave after six months, even though he won the Supercoppa Italiana against Inter.

WHAT’S NEXT FOR MILAN?

Tare has a busy summer ahead. Besides pursuing Modrić, he must address the head coach position, manage player contracts, and identify new signings to improve the team. Club CEO Giorgio Furlani is confident in Tare’s ability, praising his skills, determination, and understanding of Italian football.

Pursuing Modrić would be a bold move for Milan, who want to return to success in both domestic and European competitions. Modrić’s experience would provide leadership for a team looking to overcome their worst league finish. Milan fans are eager to see if Tare can complete this ambitious signing as part of the club’s reset for the 2025-26 season.
