Luka Modrić Leads Milan in Minutes Played – What’s Next for the Croatian Maestro?

Season Milestone

Luka Modrić has accumulated the most minutes of any outfield player for AC Milan in the current Serie A campaign, logging 2,366 minutes according to Opta. The 37‑year‑old midfielder has not reached this level of playing time in a single league season since 2020/21, when he played 2,743 minutes.

Future Outlook

At present, the question of Modrić’s future remains open. The Croatian international has stated his two immediate priorities: to finish his debut season with Milan on a high note, and then to shift his focus to the upcoming World Cup with Croatia.

Any decision about staying at Milan is likely to be made in one of two windows:

- Between the conclusion of the Serie A season and the start of the World Cup.

- After Croatia’s campaign in the United States concludes.

“Only he knows what lies ahead,” the article notes, underscoring that the final call rests with Modrić himself.
