In an unexpected twist, football legend Luka Modric, the 2018 Ballon d'Or winner, has left a 13-season legacy at Real Madrid to join AC Milan at the age of 39! ⚽🔥
This move marks a dream come true for Modric, who grew up supporting Milan thanks to idol Zvonimir Boban’s iconic play in the 1990s. Signing a one-year deal with an option for another season, he aims to help the Rossoneri bounce back from a season that saw them finish eighth in Serie A.
AC Milan is set for a revival with the return of coach Massimiliano Allegri, renowned for clinching the league title with Milan in 2011 and later steering Juventus to five consecutive titles.
