AC Milan sporting director Igli Tare has confirmed the club has struck a deal to sign veteran midfielder Luka Modrić when he departs Real Madrid later this summer.
Modrić inked a short-term extension to prolong his time with Madrid until the conclusion of the FIFA Club World Cup, after which he will depart for pastures new for the first time in 13 years. Talks with Milan were held before the tournament began but final confirmation will only come once Madrid’s time in the United States comes to a close.
