Croatia midfielder Luka Modric signed a contract extension on Thursday to stay at AC Milan for another season.
Modric, who will turn 41 in September, joined the Rossoneri on a free transfer in the summer of 2025 after leaving Real Madrid and made 37 appearances last season, scoring two goals.
"I am thrilled to stay at AC Milan, where you made me feel welcomed and loved from the very first day," Modric said in a club statement.
"After a season below our expectations, the desire to bounce back is immense. A new season and a new challenge await us -- a project I believe in and that motivates me.
"I am ready to continue to give everything again for this shirt and I am so proud to keep wearing these colours."
Milan announced the news after Modrić returned from his fifth World Cup, where he started all four games leading Croatia and passed 200 appearances for the national team.
The 2018 Ballon d'Or winner was still on the field after 109 minutes when Croatia's tournament controversially ended with a disallowed goal in a 2-1 loss to Portugal in the round of 32.
"One of the finest and most iconic players in world football, the Croatian will continue his journey in the Rossoneri shirt," Milan said in a statement.
Milan finished fifth in Serie A in Modrić's first season at San Siro and will play in the Europa League this season under new coach Ruben Amorim.
