[London (UK) = Egan Sports Chosun.COM reporter] AC Milan officially recruited Luca Modric. The contract is one year, and it includes a one-year extension option depending on the performance.

Modric, 39, became a free agent after his contract with Real Madrid expired after winning the Club World Cup recently. He chose AC Milan amid a number of club interests, starting his final chapter in Serie A.

Modric left Tottenham Hotspur in 2012 to join Real Madrid and reigned as a top European midfielder for 12 years. He has won a total of more than 20 major trophies for Real, including five Champions League, three La Liga and five Club World Cups.

This transfer is the first Italian stage for Modric. AC Milan added a 'Veteran Commander 'Veteran' to the squad centered on young players, complementing his experience and ability to coordinate games.

What influence Modric will show by experiencing all three major European leagues is expected to be one of Serie A's points to watch in the new season.
