"Modric, Milan sees the light again"
This is how Tuttosport headlines the arrival of an absolute champion like Luka Modric in Milan this morning. The Croatian, who joins on a free transfer from Real Madrid, will first undergo the customary medical examinations before heading to Casa Milan to sign his contract. He will wear the number 14 shirt, which until a few weeks ago belonged to Tijjani Reijnders.
Recently, Luka Modric took the opportunity to bid farewell to Real Madrid:
“It’s hard to say, but I have mixed emotions. An unforgettable, glorious, and victorious era has come to an end. What I experienced fills me with even greater joy. Remembering everything I achieved here makes me very happy, even though it’s now over. At Real Madrid, I grew both as a player and as a person. Real Madrid gave me everything in football, and for that, I’ll be grateful for the rest of my life. I will always be a Real Madrid fan. It was a long journey, but an unforgettable one. I’ve grown a lot, both professionally and personally. I have another home away from home, because Madrid and Spain are like my second home. I’m very happy and I’m sure that with time, I’ll become even more aware of what I’ve accomplished — because I’ll need some time to process all the emotions and everything I achieved here.”
