Overview
- Modrić fractured his cheekbone against Juventus, had surgery, and will miss Milan’s final four Serie A matches.
- Italian reports say he is expected to activate a one-year extension to remain at San Siro through the 2026–27 season.
- The extension is a club option, yet Milan will only move forward with Modrić’s explicit approval, according to those reports.
- He is focusing on recovering in time for the 2026 World Cup, and outlets suggest any formal contract announcement may wait until after the tournament.
- His strong first season — 32 league starts and 2,788 minutes — and the lure of another Champions League run under Massimiliano Allegri are shaping his choice.
