Considering that Milan will not have to pay a transfer fee for Modric, the club will be able to offer him a proper salary. Potential sponsorship deals are also expected to help cover the veteran’s wages.
After leaving his homeland, Modric spent four years at Tottenham and a full 13 years at Real Madrid, becoming the most decorated footballer in the club’s history.
As a child, Modric supported Milan. This was confirmed by his former teammate and ex-Milan star Zvonimir Boban.
“Luka is a real Milanista. He liked the team ever since childhood and always wanted to play here, but he never received a serious offer. Modric had no intention of leaving Real after one bad season,” Boban told milannews.it.
