After 13 unforgettable seasons at Real Madrid, 39-year-old football legend Luka Modric is stepping into a new chapter with AC Milan. The 2018 Ballon d'Or winner has signed a one-year deal with an option for an extra season, aiming to restore the Rossoneri to their winning ways after a challenging campaign.
Modric, who grew up supporting Milan thanks to the inspirational play of his idol Zvonimir Boban during the 90s, is ready to bring his creative flair and experience to the San Siro. At Real Madrid, he collected 28 titles, including six European Cups, leaving behind a legacy that has captivated fans worldwide.
AC Milan is eager for a turnaround after finishing eighth in Serie A last season. The club rehired coach Massimiliano Allegri, known for his impressive track record with both Milan and Juventus. Allegri even reached out to former coach Carlo Ancelotti to check on Modric's current form, reflecting the high hopes pinned on this new signing.
The deal was finalized before the FIFA Club World Cup, although Modric wrapped up his tenure at Madrid with a tough 4-0 loss to PSG in his final game. Now, with fresh energy and seasoned skill, Modric is all set to light up the pitch and help Milan chase glory once again. ⚽️🔥
