According to reports in Italy, as relayed by Mundo Deportivo, Luka Modric appears increasingly likely to remain at AC Milan for another season.
The Croatian veteran is leaning towards extending his playing career with the Rossoneri rather than returning to Real Madrid in a non-playing capacity.
The 40-year-old has yet to announce a final decision, but optimism is growing in Milan that he will continue in Serie A.
According to the report, AC Milan owner Gerry Cardinale has personally contacted Modric to encourage him to stay for another season.
