Luka Modrić, the legendary Croatian midfielder, has officially ended his 13-year chapter at Real Madrid and signed a one-year contract with AC Milan, with an option to extend for another season. At 39 years old, Modrić arrived in Italy, completed his medical exams, and immediately sparked a social media storm when Real Madrid unfollowed him on Instagram. This move triggered a wave of comments and speculation among fans, as Modrić won an astonishing 28 trophies during his Real career, including six Champions League titles and the Ballon d’Or. Although Real has a policy of not following former players on social media, the fact that Modrić was unfollowed right after signing with Milan, while another former player Lucas Vázquez remains followed, caused heated reactions. At Milan, Modrić took the number 14 jersey, last worn at Tottenham, while at Real he wore numbers 19 and 10. His arrival is a major boost for the Italian club, which is undergoing restructuring after a disastrous season. Despite lucrative offers from Saudi Arabia, Modrić chose to stay in European football and continue playing at a high level. Fans and experts see him not only as a reinforcement on the pitch but also as a leader who can uplift the team’s morale and quality. Modrić’s departure from Real Madrid and new adventure at Milan mark the end of an era and the beginning of a new, uncertain but exciting phase in the career of this great footballer. So, what do you think about this move? Did Real make a mistake or is this just cold club policy? Drop a comment and let the people’s voice be heard!
