But Real Madrid has chosen to renew its workforce and indicated the exit door to it. Luka Modric will bounce back to AC Milan.
At almost forty years old (he will have them on September 9), the 2018 Ballon d'Or certainly no longer has his twenty -year -old legs.

Then he left for England with Tottenham Spurs before spinning in Madrid.
Luka Modric expected at AC Milan
A few years after signing Olivier Giroud, AC Milan once again tried with a veteran. Massimiliano Allegri hopes to be able to rely on the immense experience of Luka Modric. A capital contribution for the project of an AC Milan wishing to revive completely after a season not far from catastrophic.

It remains to wait for the formalization of the arrival of the Croatian who should be welcomed as a king by the Milanese tifosi.
