Milan wants to learn how to manage matches without Luka Modric as well. The Croatian midfielder remains a reference for quality, leadership and the ability to guide teammates in difficult moments, but Ruben Amorim aims to distribute responsibilities in the department more widely.

Andrea Ramazzotti explains the plan in the pages of Gazzetta dello Sport: the coach wants to overcome the dependence on Modric that characterised the team last season.

Modric, a central role and the energies to manage

According to the newspaper's reconstruction, Amorim welcomed with enthusiasm the Croatian's decision to extend his contract with Milan for another season. His presence guarantees a valuable contribution to ball circulation and team management.

At the same time, with Modric approaching 41 years, it will be necessary to moderate his usage. Thursday fixtures in the Europa League will make it even more important to have reliable alternatives, avoiding asking him to be on the pitch on every occasion.

Modric, Jashari and Musah called to provide continuity

The development of Ardon Jashari represents a fundamental step. Gazzetta dello Sport highlights Amorim's great consideration for the midfielder, from whom an improvement in performance is expected.

Next to him there is Yunus Musah, called to confirm what he showed during the pre‑season and in the first two matchdays. Their contribution must allow Milan to maintain effectiveness in the maneuver even when Modric rests.

Modric, the alternatives also include Rabiot and Comotto

The plan also includes the possibility of using Adrien Rabiot among the two central midfielders, if necessary, and the launch of Comotto.

Different solutions through which Amorim intends to broaden the options available. The goal is to preserve Modric and build a midfield capable of sustaining seasonal commitments without always depending on his presence.
