"Luka has already far surpassed his minutes in the last LaLiga season: with Real Madrid, he played 1,820 minutes in the league, and in this Serie A season he's played 2,096. According to Lega Serie A statistics, he's second for most successful passes with 634."
"Luka is also a role model outside of the field, with his humility and the standards that allowed him to win a Ballon d'Or. Everyone admires him: not only the coach, but also the staff, the club, and, of course, his team-mates. For the team, Modric is simply 'the Maestro'."
"The fans have even gone so far as to make a chant for him to the tune that Napoli used to have for Maradona. This light doesn't dim those who play alongside him however, and indeed this is also the Milan of Rabiot, Leao and Maignan himself."
"He's surprised by so much affection and motivated by the atmosphere: being a role model for his younger team-mates is a responsibility that motivates him. Given this background, it's easy to imagine Luka being convinced to stay with the Rossoneri next year."
Luka Modric has exceeded his previous season's minutes at AC Milan and ranks second in successful passes with 634. He maintains the highest rating average among established players and serves as a role model through his humility and professionalism. Modric has earned the nickname 'the Maestro' and inspired a fan chant modeled after Maradona's Napoli tribute. His presence motivates younger players like Ricci and Jashari while maintaining the quality of Milan's squad alongside Rabiot, Leao, and Maignan. Modric expresses happiness with Milan's embrace and the responsibility of mentoring teammates. A contractual clause exists enabling the club to extend his deal beyond the June 2026 expiry.
