Modric move to Milan confirmed by new coach Allegri

Real Madrid midfielder Luka Modric will join AC Milan after the Club World Cup, the Serie A club's newly-appointed manager Massimiliano Allegri confirmed.

The move means the 39-year-old Croatian captain, who announced in May that he would be leaving Madrid after the Club World Cup, will bring his 13-year spell at the Spanish giant to a close.

"Modric will arrive in August. He is an extraordinary player," Allegri told reporters in his first news conference as Milan manager.
