AC Milan's efforts to retain Luka Modric have gained momentum as Zlatan Ibrahimovic, now an advisor to the club's owner, has been actively involved in persuading the midfielder to stay. Ibrahimovic has made personal calls to Modric, emphasizing the club's desire for him to continue for another season. This follows similar efforts from owner Gerry Cardinale and new coach Ruben Amorim.

Modric's decision has been eagerly anticipated since his World Cup commitments ended. His family, particularly his daughter who is part of Milan's youth teams, is expected to play a significant role in his choice. The club has been proactive in their attempts to convince him, and it appears they have done everything possible to secure his stay.

The midfielder has been considering his options carefully, with speculation about a potential return to Real Madrid as a director or coach. However, with Ibrahimovic's involvement and the club's dedication to keeping him, Milan are optimistic about his chances of staying.

Modric's decision is imminent, and Milan are waiting anxiously for his response. The club's proactive approach, coupled with Ibrahimovic's personal intervention, suggests they are committed to keeping their star player.
