Croatia captain Luka Modric signed up Thursday for one more season with AC Milan when he will turn 41 in a standout career.
Milan announced the news after Modric returned from his fifth World Cup.
In the World Cup, he started all four games, leading Croatia and passed 200 appearances for the national team.
Modric was still on the field after 109 minutes when Croatia`s tournament controversially ended with a disallowed goal in a 2-1 loss to Portugal.
Milan finished fifth in Serie A in Modric`s first season at San Siro and will play in the Europa League this season under new coach Ruben Amorim.
