One of the most prestigious names in European football — Luka Modric's glorious history with "Real Madrid" is coming to an end. The Croatian master footballer, who has become the backbone of the team for 12 years, is expected to part ways with the club at the end of the current season.
Recently turning 39, Modric's contract with the "whites" has expired. However, he will defend "Real's" honor in the World Championship between clubs. After the competition, his transfer to the "Milan" club is expected to be officially announced.
Luka Modric arrived in Madrid in 2012 from England's "Tottenham" and has contributed to all the major victories of "Real" since then. This season, he has also made significant contributions — appearing in 35 matches, scoring 2 goals and providing 6 assists. Despite his age, he has showcased experience, skill, and precision in every game.
Modric's career at "Real" has been filled not only with trophies but also with achievements that will remain in football history. One of the brightest moments was winning the "Ballon d'Or" in 2018. He became the only player to break the monopoly of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo in the last decade.
His move to "Milan" will be a significant event for Serie A. The Milanese are in need of a playing style and an experienced leader. Luka is seen as an ideal candidate for this role.
Thus, Luka Modric will make his last appearance in the "Real" jersey at the World Championship between clubs, and his next destination will be the City of Legends, Milan.
