AC Milan are growing increasingly confident that Luka Modric will remain at the club for another season, according to fresh comments shared by football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.

The Croatian midfielder’s future has been a major talking point in recent weeks, but there now appears to be strong belief inside the club that the veteran playmaker will continue at San Siro beyond the current campaign.

Romano reported that AC Milan have been optimistic for weeks about Modric staying for one more season. The update was further strengthened by comments from sporting director Igli Tare, who openly backed the idea of the midfielder extending his stay.

“I believe Luka Modric will stay next season. He’s a real AC Milan fan,” Tare said.

The statement is likely to excite Milan supporters, especially given Modric’s experience and leadership despite being in the later stages of his career. The former Real Madrid star continues to be seen as a valuable figure both on and off the pitch. His calmness in midfield and winning mentality remain highly respected inside the dressing room.

Modric joined Milan with huge expectations after building a legendary career in Spain with Real Madrid and the Croatia national football team. Even at this stage of his career, he has shown flashes of the quality that made him one of the best midfielders of his generation.
