Luka Modrić, the Real Madrid legend, is slowly saying goodbye to the club where he spent 13 years and won every possible trophy. Despite his advanced playing age, Modrić is not ready to hang up his boots and has decided to continue his career at Milan, where he is expected to sign a contract right after the FIFA Club World Cup. Renowned insider Fabrizio Romano confirmed that everything is set for the transfer, and Modrić will be one of the oldest yet most experienced players at Milan, occasionally coming off the bench to bring class and wisdom to the pitch.
At Real Madrid, Modrić has become a key figure in the locker room, especially in his relationships with younger players. His new coach, Xabi Alonso, is gradually introducing new tactical concepts and a style of play that differs from that of Carlo Ancelotti. Modrić openly spoke about the challenges of adapting to the new system and stated that Xabi Alonso is the right person to lead Real at this moment. However, with so many top players in the squad, Real cannot afford to play below its potential, and Modrić is aware that changes are necessary.
Although he had financially lucrative offers from Saudi Arabia, Modrić chose to accept a lower salary to continue playing at the highest level. His transfer to Milan will mark the end of an era at Real Madrid and the beginning of a new adventure in Serie A, where his experience and quality will contribute to the team. Fans across Europe are watching this move with great interest, as Modrić remains one of the best midfielders in the world.
Real Madrid is currently competing in the FIFA Club World Cup, where after two matches they have a win and a draw. Modrić has so far come off the bench and worn the captain’s armband. His role in the tournament has been limited, but he is expected to get more playing time as the competition progresses. If Real fails to advance, it will be his last appearance for the club.
All in all, this is a moment that football fans will remember — the end of a legend at Real Madrid and the start of a new chapter at Milan. Will Modrić prove that age is just a number in top-level football? Time will tell, but one thing is certain — the football world is ready for more Modrić magic. What do you think? Is this the right move for the legend, or is it time to say goodbye to the pitch? Drop your thoughts, it’s always fun to see who’s on which side!
