As Modric prepares to don the iconic red and black, AC Milan are also on the verge of parting ways with Dutch midfielder Tijjani Reijnders, who is said to have reached a verbal agreement to join Manchester City.
While Modric is not expected to be a direct replacement for Reijnders, Allegri reportedly has his sights set on Juventus’ Adrien Rabiot as the primary candidate to fill the void. Lazio’s Matteo Guendouzi is also on Milan’s radar.
Nonetheless, the addition of Modric—armed with elite experience and a trophy-laden career—would undoubtedly ease the blow of losing Reijnders.
Last season, the Croatian legend proved once again that age is just a number when it comes to delivering at the highest level of European football.***
