The reason Modric joined AC Milan

The Croatian midfielder admitted he wants to continue playing top-level football in Europe after leaving Real Madrid.

Modric will play for AC Milan from the 2025/26 season.

In an interview with Milan TV on July 16, Modric said: "I come here with great respect for the players, the coach and the club in general. I want to bring the desire to win, help my teammates and work hard to get a place in the squad. This is never easy, you have to work hard and fight."

Modric admitted that he had received many offers, but when AC Milan called, the midfielder quickly said yes. "I wanted to stay in Europe to continue playing at the top level. When Milan contacted me, I agreed immediately," he said.

The former Real Madrid star also said that Sporting Director Igli Tare flew to Croatia to present Milan's future plans, helping to make a deep impression on the midfielder.

Modric will start training with his new teammates later this month, having just completed the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup with Real Madrid. Under coach Massimiliano Allegri, Milan will play friendlies against Arsenal, Liverpool, Perth Glory, Leeds United and Chelsea before the start of Serie A at the end of August.

Modric has decided to leave Real Madrid after 13 years as one of the best midfielders in the club's history. The Croatian's arrival has excited Milan fans, as the team has just said goodbye to midfielder Tijjani Reijnders (to Man City).
