Modric has chosen to wear the No. 14 shirt at AC Milan for the 2025-26 season. The Croatian star's selection pays tribute to former Rossoneri player and then head coach Carlo Ancelotti, who occasionally wore the No. 14 jersey during his playing days at San Siro.

Luka Modric is going to try and help restore seven-time European champion AC Milan to glory at age 39 after one of the most disappointing Rossoneri seasons in recent memory.

Luka Modric has completed a move to AC Milan on a free transfer after 13 successful years at Real Madrid. The 39-year-old midfielder has signed a contract until June 2026, with the Italian side having the option to trigger a one-year extension.
