Luka Modric is destined to become a new Milan player.
After establishing himself at Real Madrid as the most successful footballer in the club’s history, the Croatian star will leave the Blancos at the end of the Club World Cup currently taking place in the United States, where Real has earned a draw and a win.
The reception given to the captain of both Madrid and Croatia shows how important such a signing will be from a media standpoint, even though Modric will be turning 40: upon his entrance onto the pitch, both against Al Hilal and against Pachuca, the crowd gave him legendary ovations.
Real Madrid is very close to qualifying for the Round of 16, so to see Modric in a Rossoneri shirt one will have to wait a little longer. As soon as Xabi Alonso’s team concludes its campaign, the Croatian champion will bid farewell to Madrid for good and undergo medical tests with Milan before his well-deserved vacation, as relayed via Milannews.it.
Only after a period of rest with his family will Modric join his teammates—likely at the beginning of August after the tour in Asia and Oceania, though this will largely depend on how far Real go in the competition. All of this is reported by Corriere dello Sport, which states:
“Modric, medicals after the World Cup then vacation. Max is waiting for him.”
