The 39-year-old midfielder has signed a contract until June 2026, with the Italian side having the option to trigger a one-year extension.Modric announced in May he would be leaving Spanish giants Real after the Club World Cup in the United States.Speaking to Milan's social media,, external he said he was very happy "to be starting a new chapter" of his career.Massimiliano Allegri, who has returned for a second stint as Milan boss after replacing Sergio Conceicao, called Modric an "extraordinary player" when confirming the Croatia captain would join earlier this month.

Modric, who won the Ballon d'Or in 2018, won 28 trophies - including six Champions Leagues and four La Liga titles - with Real after his move from Tottenham in 2012, making him the club's most decorated player.He scored 43 goals in 597 games at Real and his final match was their 4-0 semi-final defeat by Paris St-Germain in the Club World Cup last week.Modric is keen to play at next year's World Cup, which takes place in Canada, Mexico and the US.Milan cannot be satisfied with average. It needs to have (the) biggest goals possible, to win titles, to compete with the best teams in the world. And that’s why I’m here,” Modric told Milan TV.“When I grew up, I used to watch a lot of the Italian league and Milan was my favorite team. At the time in Croatia we followed Milan a lot because it was one of the most popular clubs in the world. And also because there was Zvonimir Boban who was my idol,” he added.On Monday, the Croatian wizard signed a one year contract with Milan with an option for another season. Talking about why he joined, he said he wanted to continue to play competitive football in Europe.

Milan rehired Massimiliano Allegri as the coach after last season, replacing the fired Sergio Conceicao. Allegri won the Italian league for the first time with Milan in 2011, then guided Juventus to five straight titles from 2015-19. Tare was also hired recently.“What I want to bring there is to win, to help my teammates in every aspect, to work hard, to earn my place in the team,” Modric said. “Nothing can come easy in your life. You have to work. You have to fight.” With Milan winger Rafael Leão holding onto the No. 10 shirt, Modric will return to the No. 14 he once wore for Croatia and at Tottenham.

Leão was the Serie A MVP when Milan won the league in 2022 but has since performed inconsistently and clashed with the team managers. “Leão,” Modric said, “is the present and future of Milan.”
