Football icon Luka Modric is trading his iconic white Real Madrid jersey for AC Milan's red and black stripes, marking a seismic shift in European soccer. The 39-year-old midfielder, who once called Real Madrid 'home' for 13 trophy-laden seasons, has signed a one-year deal with Milan—complete with an option to extend. 🏆
Modric’s move comes after a bittersweet farewell to Madrid, where he lifted 28 titles, including six Champions League trophies. Now, he’s on a mission to revive Milan’s glory days after the club’s underwhelming eighth-place Serie A finish last season. Talk about a plot twist! 🔄
Fun fact: Modric grew up idolizing Croatian legend Zvonimir Boban, who starred for Milan in the '90s. Now, he’s living his childhood dream. 💭
Milan’s new coach Massimiliano Allegri—a five-time Serie A winner with Juventus—reportedly tapped his old pal Carlo Ancelotti for intel on Modric before sealing the deal. Sporting director Igli Tare even flew to Croatia’s training camp to finalize the transfer. ✈️
Modric’s last match for Madrid? A 4-0 loss to PSG in the FIFA Club World Cup semifinals. Now, all eyes are on Milanello as fans wonder: Can this Ballon d’Or winner work his magic again? ⚡
