Forty-year-old Modric at AC Milan to 'stay competitive and in Europe'

Croatia captain Luka Modric said Wednesday he had penned a one-year contract with AC Milan to "stay competitive and in Europe".

"I'm happy to be here, and I look forward to a new adventure," the 2018 Ballon d'Or winner told AC Milan's TV channel after joining from Real Madrid.

Modric, who turns 40 in September, joined the Spanish giant from Tottenham in 2012, going on to win six Champions Leagues, four La Liga titles and two Copa del Rey trophies.
