Despite his upcoming exit, Modric has been included in new boss and former team-mate Xabi Alonso‘s Club World Cup squad.
According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, the midfielder has agreed to join AC Milan upon the expiry of his Real Madrid contract.
The former Tottenham star does not want to make the switch official or undergo a medical yet, however, as he is determined to focus on Real until the very end of his time there.
Alonso’s men begin their Club World Cup campaign by facing Al-Hilal in Miami on June 18.
They will then play further matches against Pachuca and RB Salzburg – with the final scheduled for July 13.
Despite interest from Saudi Arabia and MLS, Modric has decided to keep playing in Europe.
The Croatia icon would like to represent his country at next summer’s World Cup, by which time he will be 40-years-old.
Modric joined Real Madrid from Spurs in 2012 and has since gone on to make 591 appearances for Los Blancos.

The dynamic midfielder has won the Champions League a staggering six times during his career, while he also earned the Ballon d’Or in 2018.
Despite his veteran status, Modric made 57 appearances for Real in all competitions this season, including 35 in LaLiga.
The experienced playmaker wore the captain’s armband on several occasions under former boss Carlo Ancelotti.
While Modric will continue to play at a high level for AC Milan, he has also begun to consider life after professional football.
In April it was confirmed that the global superstar had purchased a minority stake in Championship side Swansea City.
SunSport then revealed that Modric was set to buy a £1.1million house on the outskirts of the Welsh city.
