Luka is looking for a club capable of preparing it at best for next year’s world championship and has been a fan of the devil since he was a child

June 3 – 01:15 – MILAN

Once upon a time there was the great Milan, the one that collected gold balls continuously. Today the scenario has changed, in Europe there are those who spend and spreads much more than an Italian top club can be afforded, but the desire to make the fans dream with a big name seems to tease both Igli Tare and Massimiliano Allegri. In the discussions on Milan which will come, in fact, the new Rossoneri couple has also reasoned about the possibility of a blow to effect: Luka Modric, just released from Real Madrid.

Modric suggestion

The Croatian midfielder, born in 1985, closed his experience in Spain after thirteen years of triumphs. Now he must choose his new adventure, which is also preparatory to the great goal of 2026: the World Cup between the United States, Mexico and Canada. Modric therefore wants a team and a level championship to better prepare his last act with the national team. Milan know and for this reason internally the managers of via Aldo Rossi are reflecting on the opportunity or not to make an attempt, weighing the pros and cons. PRO: Modric is not looking for a particularly rich contract and would add class, personality and experience to the team. Cons: next September 9th will turn forty round rounds and in the last year at Real Madrid he played less than half of the matches as a starter. It is clear that he is no longer the player of the golden ball won in 2018. Its final balance in 2024-25, however, speaks of 57 appearances, 4 goals and 9 assists. In short, he will also be at the years, but the physical condition has allowed him to be practically always skilled and enlisted. In addition, Real in the season just sent to the archives played in six competitions, while the devil in 2025-26 will be engaged only on three fronts. Modric, therefore, could manage his energies between Serie A, Italian Cup and Italian Super Cup with less trouble.

dream Milan

If the name of the Croatian fascinates the Rossoneri world, it should not be forgotten how Milan has been the dream of the midfielder since he was a child. Modric never made it a mystery: when he still did not know he would become a world -class footballer, his heart club was precisely AC Milan in Milan, as evidenced by some photos with the Rossoneri’s suit or jacket. On the other hand, he grew up with one of his idols, Zvonimir Boban, who drew wonders on the San Siro lawn. In short, Milan is not a team like all the others for him and a call from via Aldo Rossi would surely induce him at least in temptation.

Obstacles for Modric

As mentioned, the Croatian talent in the choice of his new club will not give excessive weight to the economic factor. There are, however, of the objective difficulties. The first is obvious: Milan will not play European cups. If on a physical level the thing could even be an advantage for Modric, who would save energy also in view of the World Cup, on the ambition level it is certainly a step back for a midfielder accustomed with Real Madrid to hear the Champions League music a week yes and a week no and to raise the cup often and willingly (he is the footballer who has won the trophy several times, you are as a game and the now ex -teammates of the team. Carvajal, Nacho and Kroos). The second is instead represented by dense competition. As much as Luka is on the age of 40, its name is a strong call for several clubs around Europe.

Italy in fate?

It is not the first time, however, that the name of Modric was approached to a team from our Serie A. In the summer of 2018, after the Croatian star had won the usual Champions League with Madrid and then enchanted at the World Cup of Russia, dragging his national team even in the final (then lost 4-2 against France) for the first time in its history, Inter tried to tear him at Real. An attempt was then a vain result, despite the promises of an intermediary. This time the scenario is a little different: Modric is free, at the end of his career and could choose with the heart. A Rossoneri heart.
