AC Milan head coach Massimiliano Allegri confirmed on Monday that Croatia captain Luka Modric will join the Italian giants from Real Madrid following the conclusion of the Club World Cup.
Modric, who turns 40 in September, has been with Real Madrid since his move from Tottenham Hotspur in 2012. His departure from the Spanish club had been anticipated since early June, after he announced that he would not renew his contract.
Real Madrid are set to face Paris Saint-Germain in the semi-finals of the Club World Cup on Wednesday, with the final scheduled for July 13.
“He’ll arrive in August,” Allegri said during his first press conference since returning as Milan boss.
“He’s an extraordinary and important player, it would be useless to talk more about him.”
Allegri returns to Milan for a second spell, having previously led the club to the Serie A title in 2011 during his tenure from 2010 to 2014. Milan’s new season kicks off on August 17 with an Italian Cup fixture.
