Luka Modric explains why he joined Milan, his admiration for the club, and why he chose the No. 14 squad number, as he prepares for a new challenge at San Siro.
Luka Modric has revealed that he was impressed by Igli Tare’s trip to Croatia, where the Milan director explained the club’s project and vision to him.
The legendary midfielder joined Milan on a free transfer after his contract with Real Madrid expired, signing a one-year deal with the Rossoneri. Modric’s decision to join Milan was driven by his desire to stay in Europe and continue playing competitive football.
Modric’s admiration for Milan dates back to his childhood, when he would watch the Italian league and idolize Zvonimir Boban, a former Milan player. A photo of Modric as a kid wearing a Milan shirt has resurfaced, and he recalled that he used to follow the club closely due to their popularity and success.
Modric is now excited to be part of the Milan team and is looking forward to this new adventure.
When asked why he chose Milan, Modric explained that he had other offers but was immediately drawn to the club’s project and vision.
He was impressed by Tare’s visit to Croatia, which showed him how much the club wanted him. Modric believes that Milan should set high goals, including winning titles and competing with the best teams in the world.
Modric’s view on Serie A is that it’s a very competitive league, with great teams and good players. He has been following the league closely, especially since many Croatian players are involved. He enjoys watching his national teammates and believes that the league is tactical and physical.
The Croatia international also explained why he chose the squad number 14 at San Siro. Modric liked the number and had worn it previously for his national team and Tottenham. Since the number 10 was taken by Rafael Leao, Modric opted for the No. 14, which he believes will bring him good fortune.
Modric’s goal at Milan is to win and help his teammates in every aspect. He knows that nothing comes easy and that he will need to work hard to earn his place in the team. With his experience and skill, Modric is expected to make a significant contribution to Milan’s success this season.
