June 12 – 08:42 – MILAN

At 39 Zlatan Ibrahimovic returned to Milan and the Rossoneri ascent is also connected to this event: Ibra started from Milan in January 2020 and arrived at the Scudetto in May 2022. Then it was said that a young and disoriented group needed a leader, a safe guide. Today that there is the same disorientation, Milan has chosen to start again from the more certain of the references: Luka Modric, 39 years old too, six Champions League with Real and 2864 minutes on the field in the last season in Madrid. In 2019, before recovering the role of Rossoneri driver, Ibra had played few less, 2790, but in the sun of Los Angeles: the American MLS had certainly requested a different mental and physical effort than the labors of Modric between Liga and Champions.

Mutual respect

All this to say that an expert and dynamic player will arrive at Milan, another reason why the movement of medical visits should not be interpreted with concern. On the contrary, the reason is the respect that Luka has for the club that welcomed him in the summer of 2012 and made golden ball in 2018: Modric expressly asked that physical tests and signature were postponed to the end of sports commitments with Madrid. So, despite the Milan program, which had scheduled everything for yesterday in Croatia, the bureaucratic process for the Luka membership was postponed after the club world championship. At that point, now released, he will put his autograph on the contract with Milan, an annual with option on the second season. In this story of mutual esteem, the Rossoneri club would also have avoided announcing its engagement during the World Cup, precisely because of the reverence towards Florentino Perez and his company. But then Modric will be all for Milan and Allegri: with a commitment per week he can guarantee a high mileage, even if he will not be available with the group from the first gathering but only later. It depends on how much Real’s commitments in the United States will continue, which will follow the well -deserved holidays.

Tiji greets … the city

In addition to the defense, the median is also under reconstruction: the replacement of Reijnders will not be Modric, a Manchester City player officially from yesterday. While Milan will son the European market in search of new goals and insertions for the midfield, Tiji greets the new club: «I am in seventh heaven, the City is one of the largest teams in the world, with the best coach, worldwide players and exceptional structures. I want to help continue the cycle of successes in the coming years. Playing in the Premier League is a dream that comes true. This championship has seen many large Dutch footballers shine over the years and it is a great inspiration to follow their footsteps. I can’t wait to start, get to know my new companions and show the Manchester City fans what I am capable of ». Milan will reorganize themselves looking for players of greatest experience and leadership. Rabiot and Xhaka, not surprisingly, are on the list of objectives
