Milan midfielder Luka Modrić spoke about playing for the Italian team, as well as his former club Real Madrid.
"I have always said that my sincerest wish is to finish my career at Real Madrid. But sometimes things don't go as planned, and since my wish to finish my career at Real Madrid did not come true, I had to think about what I was going to do next. What happened, happened, and I don't regret anything. Any transfer after Real Madrid is a step back, that's undeniable, and every player will confirm that. I think I joined a club very close to Real Madrid in terms of history and reputation, so in my opinion, it's the best choice. I grew up watching Italian football and Milan was my favorite club. I never thought I would stay at Real Madrid; I couldn't even imagine it happening. I thought about where I wanted to play, and Milan was always in first place after Real Madrid," Idman.Biz quotes Modrić's words citing Football Italia.
Modrić played for Real Madrid from 2012 to 2025, winning the Spanish championship four times, the King's Cup twice, and the Champions League six times.
This season, he has played 14 games for Milan in all tournaments, scoring one goal and providing two assists.
