Rangers-linked star 'set' for transfer to European giants
The former Ballon d'Or winner will leave the Bernabeu after this summer's Club World Cup in the USA.
The Croatia captain - who was tentatively linked with a sensational move to Rangers last month - is set to join AC Milan.
That's according to Fabrizio Romano, who states that a medical is organised.
The transfer guru wrote on X: "Luka Modrić to undergo medical and complete formal steps of AC Milan move after the Club World Cup.
"No signature/official steps before that as Modrić wants to focus on Real Madrid at the best level possible until the end."

Modric has nearly 600 appearances to his name for Real, winning a staggering six Champions League trophies in that time since his transfer from Tottenham in 2012.
The links with Rangers arose when Davide Ancelotti was believed to be in the running to become the next head coach of the Ibrox club.
However, after whittling down their candidates, the Rangers board opted to offer the position to Russel Martin, who has been in the post for a week.
Ancelotti has re-joined his dad's backroom staff, now at the Brazil national team.

Gabriel Magalhaes urges Arsenal to pursue summer move for Real Madrid 'phenomenon' Rodrygo as Brazil team-mate's future remains uncertain
Arsenal should step up their attempts to sign Real Madrid star Rodrygo this summer, according to his Brazil team-mate Gabriel Magalhaes. Rodrygo has emerged as a top target for the Gunners, who are looking to add firepower to a team that has finished second in the Premier League three seasons running. A new striker is the priority but a versatile attacking player is also wanted by manager Mikel Arteta. Rodrygo put big clubs across Europe on alert when he reportedly told Madrid he never wanted to play for them again having refused to feature in last month's El Clasico against Barcelona. The Brazilian winger was said to be upset about playing a secondary role behind superstar team-mates Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Jr and Jude Bellingham, and was increasingly warming the bench under Carlo Ancelotti last season. Los Blancos would demand a significant fee if they are to part ways with Rodrygo, believed to be somewhere in the region of £70m. And Gabriel thinks his compatriot would be more than worth the money for the gunners. 'I don't know,' he responded when asked by the Podpah Podcast if Rodrygo would be arriving at the Emirates this summer. 'But I'd like obviously. He's a phenomenon. 'I've told people already, he's a phenomenon! If it was up to me, of course!' Rodrygo has developed into an integral player for Madrid since joining from Brazilian side Santos for €45million (£37.9m) in 2019. The forward, who has also won 33 caps for Brazil, may have a lower profile than fellow attackers Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Jnr, yet he still has a hugely impressive record at the Bernabeu.
