AC Milan manager Massimiliano Allegri says Luka Modric will join the Italian side after Real Madrid’s Club World Cup campaign.
The Croatia captain, 39, announced in May he will end a 13-year career with the Spanish giants after the tournament in the United States.
And news of his new club was confirmed by Allegri, who has returned for a second stint as Milan boss after replacing Sergio Conceicao.
The 57-year-old said in his first press conference: “Modric will arrive in August. He is an extraordinary player.”
Modric has made five substitute appearances for Real at the Club World Cup, including the 3-2 win against Borussia Dortmund which set up Wednesday’s semi-final against Paris St-Germain.
The 2018 Ballon d’Or winner has won 28 trophies, including six Champions Leagues and four La liga titles, with Real since a move from Tottenham in 2012.
