Former Barcelona midfielder Ivan Rakitic has praised his compatriot, AC Milan midfielder Luka Modric, saying the Croatian’s intelligence puts him a step ahead of everyone else. Rakitic also attributes Modric’s longevity to his unique lifestyle, noting that he approaches football differently from most players and genuinely enjoys the game as he tipped the Rossoneri to challenge for the Serie A title.

Luka Modric has been hailed as "an inspiration" and "a true example for everyone" by his AC Milan midfield partner Adrien Rabiot. The Croatian midfielder, who joined as a free agent after spending 13 years at Real Madrid, has had a phenomenal start to life at the San Siro, with the Rossoneri emerging as early contenders to win the Serie A this season.

AC Milan are still struggling to part ways with Divock Origi, whose €4 million-a-year contract continues to weigh heavily on the club. Despite not featuring for the Rossoneri since May 2023, the former Liverpool forward earns more than Luka Modric and Adrien Rabiot, a financial headache Milan are desperate to end before his deal expires in 2026.

AC Milan have announced a landmark five-year extension of their long-standing partnership with Emirates Airlines, worth €100 million. The renewed deal sees Luka Modric and Christian Pulisic front the campaign as Milan celebrate nearly two decades with the Dubai-based airline. The extension marks one of football’s most lucrative and enduring sponsorships.

Rafael Leao has detailed the supportive welcome he received from new teammate Luka Modric after his match-winning brace sent AC Milan to the top of Serie A. The Portuguese star, who ended a long goal drought at the San Siro against Fiorentina, is eager to learn from the former Real Madrid icon and propel the Rossoneri forward to make the most out of his career.
