Continue to chew on the old? Each body: Played nearly 1,000 minutes, Milan considers renewing contract with Magic Flute for one year

According to "Daily Sports" report, Milan is considering renewing Modric's contract for one year, and the Croatian veteran still maintains a good competitive condition.

On May 22 this year, despite all his reluctance, Modric posted a touching letter through social media, announcing his departure from Real Madrid. Everything must come to an end, even for a figure as important as him in Los Blancos. The club rejected his request to stay for another season and he took his chance at Milan to become an integral part and potentially stay on for even longer.

Age has become a major obstacle for Modric to continue to play for Real Madrid. Clubs usually adopt a one-year signing policy for players over the age of 30 to manage the risks posed by veterans. This is not an unchangeable rule, but a common practice for Florentino and his board of directors.

Currently, Modric continues to show excellent form in Serie A and has become an important member of Milan. This European giant is gradually returning to its former glory after years of slumber. At Milan, Modric is the undisputed starter, bringing not only technical contributions but also maintaining legendary status in the dressing room. In addition, Milan did not participate in the European war, which also allowed the Croatian veteran, who serves as the midfielder, to reduce accumulated fatigue and perform at his best in every game.

These factors cannot be guaranteed by Real Madrid, thus accelerating the team's "intergenerational transition." The club has ended the cycle of veterans who contributed to a decade of glory and is instead banking on young players such as Bellingham, Camavinga, Guler, Joan Armeni and Ernesto Valverde, who have the responsibility to remain competitive at the highest level.

Some Real Madrid fans believe that Modric should have stayed with the team and that his departure was a mistake. At times, they will miss his ability to control situations in a game and break the deadlock at crucial moments, such as the recent away game against Rayo Vallecano. His departure still makes Real Madrid fans regret it, because Modric accepted the role of substitute and made it clear: "I will always be a Real Madrid man."

Now, Modric has become a core player of one of the Serie A title contenders. He has nearly 1,000 minutes of playing time, contributing one goal and two assists. Unlike other players of his age, he remains competitive in the top flight and is expected to participate in next year's World Cup.
