Milan officially announced strong aid! 39-year-old Real Madrid superstar joins freely, with an annual salary of 3.5 million euros + wearing a No. 14 jersey

In the early morning of July 15, Serie A giant AC Milan Club officially announced that 39-year-old Croatian midfielder Modric joined the team freely. The two parties will sign a contract for one year to 2026, and will be accompanied by a one-year option renewal clause, while his annual salary in Milan is 3.5 million euros. In the new season, Modric will wear the No. 14 jersey of the Reds and Blacks, and the former owner of this jersey is Dutch midfielder Reindes who left the team this summer to switch to Manchester City. Modric will also replace Reindes and become Milan's midfield core in the new season. Modric, born on September 9, 1985, has previously played for European powerhouses such as Dynamo Zagreb, Tottenham Hotspur and Real Madrid. Modric transferred from Tottenham to Real Madrid in 2012. In the following 13 seasons, he played 597 games for the "White Army" and scored 43 goals.

During this period, Modric led the team to win 28 championship trophys: 6 Champions League, 6 Club World Cups, 5 European Super Cups, 4 La Liga, 2 Cups of Kings and 5 Spanish Super Cups, becoming the most honored player in Real Madrid's history.

In 2018, he won the Golden Globe Award that year for his outstanding performance of following Real Madrid to win the Champions League title and leading Croatia to win the runner-up in the World Cup, becoming the first Golden Globe player to be non-Messi or Ronaldo after Kaka in 2007. In addition, Modric is also the captain of the Croatian national team, with 188 appearances and 28 goals, setting a historical record for Croatian national team.

Since Modric may retire after the 2026 US, Canada and Mexico World Cup, Milan may become the legendary Croatian midfielder and the last stop of his player career.
