Luka Modric’s decision to sign for Milan was made out of love for the Rossoneri club. This is the behind-the-scenes story revealed by Fabrizio Romano, who reports that the Croatian midfielder was sought after by many top European clubs, but he always wanted Milan, as he has been a passionate fan of the team since childhood.
His determination to play for the Rossoneri came last year, when the former Real Madrid star saw the club struggling—facing protests from fans and missing out on European qualification.
