Luka Modrić, born on 9 September 1985 (age 40), is a Croatian central midfielder with AC Milan. His market value is around £3m, according to Transfermarkt.
His early senior peak in goalscoring terms came at Dinamo Zagreb, where he scored 13 league goals in 25 appearances in 2007-2008. That remains his most productive league season, though goals were never really the point of his game.
Real Madrid is where his career was properly shaped. Across 13 seasons there, Modrić made 394 league appearances and scored 30 league goals. That length of service at that club tells its own story without much need for dressing it up.
He has remained more than a decorative veteran at AC Milan in 2025-2026. Modrić has made 37 appearances in all competitions, including 34 in Serie A, with two goals. He has also featured in the Coppa Italia and Supercoppa, while still playing for Croatia, with eight European World Cup qualifying appearances and one goal this season.
Modrić’s career runs from a productive spell at Dinamo Zagreb to a long, defining stay at Real Madrid, and on to a continued first-team role with AC Milan. Even late on, he has stayed involved rather than merely attached to the squad.
