When a Ballon d`Or winner arrives at your team, it certainly cannot be just another day. It matters little whether he is 20 or 39 years old; what he represents is always something special. Luka Modric was welcomed by Milan on a Monday in July, and his first words after landing in Italy already set the tone: “I am very happy to be here. Great challenges await me.”
A crowd gathering near the Madonnina likely made him understand his value to the people once more. Afterwards, the Croatian player, via the Rossoneri club`s social media, sent a message to the fans: “Hello everyone, I have just landed in Milan and I am very happy to be here to start a new chapter in my career. A big hug to everyone!”
Finally, the long-awaited announcement: “AC Milan is pleased to announce that Luka Modrić has signed a contract with the Club until June 30, 2026, with an option for a one-year extension until June 30, 2027.” The 1985-born player has left Valdebebas to challenge himself again and prove to those who have doubts that he is still fit and capable of enchanting those who watch him play.
