The Croatian midfielder joined AC Milan as a free agent last week after leaving Bernabeu as the most accomplished player in their history with 28 titles.
"We look forward to it on August 4, 2025. He is a champion and will level up his technique and leadership," Allegri said of Modric ahead of his team's pre-season tour.
Gimenez is also scheduled for pre-season training on August 4, 2025. The Mexican National Team player is on vacation after helping his country win the 10th Concaf Gold Cup trophy earlier this month.
He scored five goals in 14 league appearances for AC Milan since joining in February 2025 from Feyennoord.
Meanwhile, the Rossoneri finished eighth in Serie A for the 2024/2025 season and failed to qualify for Europe. They have ambitions to break the Champions League qualifiers in Serie A 2025/2026.
"Our main goal is to return to play in the Champions League, which will not be easy as there are very tough and competitive teams in Italy," Allegri said.
Allegri recently returned to AC Milan for a second term replacing the fired Sergio Conceicao. He brought the Rossoneri to the league title in 2011.
