Modric option to extend a stroke of luck for Milan

Luka Modric is continuing to show that age is just a number after a series of inspiring performances for Milan, including in Sunday night’s 2-1 victory over Fiorentina, and now, it looks like the option to extend the Croatian’s one-year contract is nothing but good news for the Rossoneri. 

Modric, who turned 40 in September, was a key player in Milan’s 2-1 win over Fiorentina, leading the midfield, showing great vision and a spirit of sacrifice. The Rossoneri veteran won the ball back, controlled the space and inspired his younger teammates, as he has done all season. 

The Italian press had nothing but positive things to say about the former Ballon d’Or winner after the Fiorentina victory, describing him as an ‘ageless champion’. 

Modric is showing that he is increasingly important within the Milan squad as well: Last night, he praised the returning Rafael Leao for his performance, showing that he is a leader both on and off the pitch. 

Now, the option to extend Modric’s contract for a further 12 months is nothing but good news for Milan, and might, in fact, be a stroke of luck.
