He is expected to sign a one-year contract, with the option of a second season.\n\nModri\u0107 grew up as a Milan fan, as his idol and Croatian compatriot, Zvonimir Boban, played for the club in the 1990s.\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>New coach Allegri confirms Modri\u0107&#8217;s signing for Milan<\/li>\n<li>AC Milan-Como in Australia?

Then, Milan&#8217;s new sporting director, Igli Tare, traveled to Croatia&#8217;s training camp last month to close the deal with Modri\u0107.\n\nThe agreement was reached before the Club World Cup, but Modri\u0107 could not join his new club until he finished playing for Madrid in the tournament in the United States.\n\nMadrid was defeated 4-0 by Paris Saint-Germain in the semi-finals in Modri\u0107&#8217;s last match with the club.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Luka Modri\u0107 arrives at AC Milan in search of glory At 39 years old, Luka Modri\u0107 will seek to revitalize AC Milan, a team with seven Champions League titles, after a disappointing season.
