When will Luka Modric join AC Milan? Allegri confirms the joining time

Luka Modric will become an important part of AC Milan midfielder next season, but he will join in August 2025, after the World Cup club match.

AC Milan continues to make strategic adjustments to enhance the composition of the team and welcome the 2025/2026 season. The main focus of the Ross and Blacks is the midfield position that is considered to require injecting fresh experience.

Tiani Reindez's departure to the Premier League has prompted new coach Massimiliano Allegri to find short-term and long-term solutions. Allegri's return to the coaching seat is believed to bring a new breath to Milan's tactical approach.

Allegri hopes to change the pace of Milan's game to make it more controllable and efficient. Therefore, he aims at midfielders with leadership and control skills.

AC Milan also targeted Eastern Europe and looked for players who meet these standards. Luka Modric's name appears as the first candidate to fill a key midfield position.

Modric became the main target, and Milan won the negotiations

In search of a suitable midfielder, Milan management considered multiple players with Allegiri-style game style. Of all the options, Luca Modric is considered the best candidate to fill the team's tactical needs.

The Croatia player confirmed to leave Real Madrid in the summer of 2025 as his contract expires at that time. Technical Director Igli Taray played a major role directly in the process and personally participated in the negotiations.

Tarre was even willing to fly to Croatia to convince Modric to continue his career in Serie A. The effort ended up fruitful, with Milan reportedly reaching a two-season contract agreement with Modric and an additional year of options.

Just just joined in August, Modric is still focused on Madrid

Although the agreement has been reached, Modric will not appear in Milanello immediately. He still has a responsibility to strengthen Real Madrid at the 2025 Club World Cup.

Masimiliano Allegri also confirmed the specific time when Modric joined the Ross and Blacks. He made it clear that the player will officially join the team in August this year.

"We look forward to his arrival, and he will arrive in August. He is an important and excellent contestant," he said, according to Milan News.

Allegri prepares a new plan, Modric becomes the key to the midfield

Masimiliano Allegri prepares the team framework for next season by relying on three midfielders. This formation promises to balance creativity and defensive discipline.

The names are Ruben Loftus Chik, Samuel Rich and Modric will become the main core of the midfield. The combination of experience and youthful vitality has become an important foundation for this strategy.

"We have Ricci, Modric, Loftus Chik, who are very important players who scored 12 goals two years ago. We also have Fofana, Bondo, Moussa..." he said.

"We have some great players. In the midfield, we will definitely send three players, it will depend on the personal characteristics of the players we are going to send, and most importantly, I will try to make them perform as well as possible," Allegri said at the end.
