Luka Modric rocked the entire world when he announced he'd be leaving Real Madrid this season. After only a week and a half of his last game being played, the Croatia international has found his next challenge.
Once a Madridista, always a Madridista. This is certainly the case for Luka Modric, Real Madrid's most decorated player of all time.
Signing from Tottenham Hotspur, he never looked back. It didn't take him long to become a Real Madrid legend, and he completely redefined what it meant to be a midfielder, especially in the Madrid setup.
Now, according to reports in Italy, Luka Modric could be up for his next challenge at a club which makes complete sense for him.
It only took one week for this Real Madrid icon to find his next challenge
Gianluca di Marzio claims that Luka Modric has given the green light that he wants to sign for AC Milan. Furthermore, a signature is anticipated today, which would finalise the deal.
Luka Modric was never in any rush to secure his deal, but if this report is to be believed, then he didn't need to rush. The perfect opportunity presented itself to Modric, who snatched it (and rightly so).
The Serie A is one of the most iconic leagues in the world and it has a rich history for hosting some of the best talent in the world. Some of the all-time great midfielders have graced the stadiums of Italy, and now Luka Modric will join that illustrious list.
AC Milan has certainly seen better days as a club. However, the beauty of the Serie A is that no club is ever written off. It is one of the most competitive leagues in the world, and clubs are always working hard to improve and to challenge one another.
Luka Modric is in the final stage of his career, but make no mistake about it, he's still capable of playing at the highest level. This is why Real Madrid fans were so emotional about his untimely departure.
For now, Real Madrid has a task on their hand; replacing Luka Modric, if that's even possible.
