At least AC Milan's hopes of starting this season with much more enthusiasm are even higher. They've made several signings that are actually quite good. At the very least, they're strengthening their squad, both in terms of playing ability and mentality.

Well, at the start, in their first Coppa Italia match, AC Milan managed to win against Bari 2-1. Luca Modric made his first appearance in this league, as a substitute, and only came on in the 66th minute.
No one doubts Modric's quality; he's one of the best midfielders in the world. However, his advancing age will significantly impact his performance and physical quality, so I believe his contribution is somewhat less than optimal.
There's no definitive proof for AC Milan, but I've seen the arrivals and departures of several players in their squad not make them stronger, so I'm a little pessimistic about AC Milan.

right @barisbilgili, i agree with you, Modric's quality is indisputable but age advances for everyone, even for him, and it could affect his performances and if it doesn't affect them it could cause problems with physical fitness and injuries
This is the risk of having older players, we just have to take note of it
Even when Modric played for Real Madrid last season, he wasn't prone to injury, so I believe the same scenario could likely happen to him at AC Milan when the new Serie A season starts this weekend. Since Modric is getting old, AC Milan shouldn't allow Modric to always play full time; they should prioritize changing Modric in the second half so that they can limit Modric's chances of getting injured.
Just as you have made mentioned i was also thinking of this that Luka Modric injury risk at Ac Milan, given his age 39, pulse i still think AC Milan to manage his playing time because despite his age modric experience and skills will be valueless assets for AC Milan, how ever i think the team should prioritize his fitness and manage his playing time to minimize injury risk. And aslo think he had still shown he can still preform well even at his age, i think in recent debut with AC Milan, he came off the bench in the 65th minute during the copper Italian league match against Bari.
