Luka Modric will arrive at AC Milan ahead of schedule, as he will cut his summer vacation short

In the past week, Milan confirmed through its sporting director, Igli Tare, the news of Luka Modric's signing by the "rossonero." Meanwhile, the Croatian is playing his final moments as a Real Madrid player in the Club World Cup. The player is already in the quarterfinals and could lift his last trophy as a Madridist, further expanding his list of honors.

Meanwhile, the San Siro club is committed to making the most of Luka Modric's final matches at the top level. Everyone knows that the Croatian wants to fulfill his dream of playing in another World Cup with his country. From there, he will decide whether he will keep playing in Europe, try a less demanding destination, or if the time has come to hang up his boots.

Although his departure from Real Madrid has already been officially announced, Luka Modric is still playing with Real Madrid in the Club World Cup. In every match for the white club, his appearances become true tributes from the fans.

Luka Modric begins to think about AC Milan

Luka Modric will head to Milan when his participation in the tournament held in the United States ends to undergo his medical examination. In addition, he will also sign his contract and, according to the latest reports, he will cut his vacation short to join the team as soon as possible. His plan is to start training with the group at the end of July to be ready for a possible debut on August 23.

"I spoke with him in person, I saw a guy who really wants to be competitive. His arrival is essential for a group that needs players like that, with leadership", said Igli Tare when asked about Luka Modric.

"The first question Luka asked me was: 'Will we be a team built to win the championship?' He has won six Champions Leagues and wants to be a protagonist from day one", added the president of AC Milan.
