Modric reveals the person who pushed him to Milan after 13 years at Madrid

After more than 13 years at Real Madrid, Luka Modric made the decision to leave the Merengue team and head to Italy. This was a surprise, but partly something some people desired to give a legend a proper farewell. However, he made it clear who made him consider the Italian club, and that was none other than Carlo Ancelotti.

"Ancelotti? We talked, he told me the best things about Milan; he was here as a player and coach, and he told me everything about the club." With these words, it's clear that the Italian coach played an important role in the Croatian's decision. Now, with a new project and a new number on his back, he hopes to give back a little of what he gave to Real Madrid.

Modric's decision

"I have to adapt to the league as soon as possible. I've played many times against Italian teams, which are very organized and like to compete." This has also been part of the statements from the legend of this sport, knowing that he isn't coming just to "play."

The decision is based on what Carlo himself told him, since he was once a player for the same Italian club. Having won Champions League titles at this club both as a player and as a coach, it's a privileged destination. This is exactly what he conveyed to the Croatian, who had doubts about which team he could join after leaving the Merengue team.

"I have to see what the coach wants from me and I'll try to do what I always do." With this, he makes it clear that he's at the coach's disposal in what will probably be his last great adventure. One alongside the second-best team in the history of the Champions League and perhaps even in Europe if we open the debate.

He must enjoy it

Clearly, as one of the final adventures of his career, the former number 10 of Real Madrid must enjoy it like never before. Especially knowing that he'll be welcomed with love and respect equal to or similar to what he had with the Merengue team. Wise decision you've made, Lukita!.
