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.

AC Milan have completed the signing of Luka Modric on a one-year deal, with the option of a further year, which is likely to see the Croatian continue playing at the top-level beyond his 40th birthday in September.
