Massimiliano Allegri is excited at having Luka Modric on board after outlining his determination to get AC Milan back into the Champions League.
Allegri returned to Milan in May after an 11-year absence and was introduced to the media today.
The 57-year-old and new sporting director Igli Tare have already made moves in the transfer market with Allegri confirming the impending departure of Theo Hernandez to Al-Hilal while veteran Real Madrid midfielder Modric will arrive after the Club World Cup.
Croatian Modric is now 39 but will join Milan when his contract at the Santiago Bernabeu expires.
“We’re waiting for him to join up with us, he will be here in August,” Allegri said. “He’s an important and extraordinary player.”
