AC Milan aim to extend the contract of two current players.

AC Milan have had one of the strongest squads in Serie A this season as they look to challenge to win the Scudetto this season. It isn’t just that they have quality in their squad which they have plenty of, but they are also outperforming expectations. This is due to new head coach Massimiliano Allegri motivating the team to reach glory this season.

Milan also have other benefits due to last seasons poor results, they aren’t playing any European football. This means that their playing eight less games then all of the other teams challenging for the league title. This has benefited the enitre squad but it helps a singular player out more, Luka Modric.

Due to his older age, Modric has lower stamina then the rest of Milans squad, however you wouldn’t know it. He has been one of their most reliable players this season, as it is clear he still has his class. He joined Milan this summer on a one-year deal, but AC Milan could already be looking to extend it.

This comes from a report in yesterday Corriere Dello Sport via MilanPost on X. Allegri has praised Modric in his press conferences in the build-up to Milan hosting Genoa today. Allegri was quoted saying “Modrić? It’s not just about technique, but about his love for football and the humility he has. When he misplaces a pass, he gets angry with himself and apologizes this is a great example for young players, because it shows how much passion is required. Right now it’s difficult because there are so many distractions, which is why it’s important to have players like him”

Modric, isn’t the only player who has impressed Allegri enough for a contract extension, Fikayo Tomori has done the same. Tomori was wanted out of the club by most fans with his performances last season, but the hiring of Allegri has turned the defence into a systematic machine which has benefited Tomori immensely.

Nico Schira reports that Tomori is only one step away from agreeing a contract extension with AC Milan. This is big as Tomori has turned down multiple offers from sides in the Premier League with Milan, clearly showing the faith he has in this coaching staff to be successful at Milan.
