Re: ⚽ Lega Serie A 🇮🇹 (Italian League) Prediction Thread 2025/2026 ⚽
A player like Luka can change Milan by being a leader on the pitch and a true captain. As for his physical condition and form, i believe Luka can play the full 90 minutes in Serie A. Like you mentioned, the tempo is definitely slower than before. Milan could fight for the scudetto since they're not playing in european competitions, which means they're more focused and less pressured in the league.
Of course, I say that Luka can and should play the 90 minutes against the toughest teams, I'm talking about Inter, Napoli, Juve, where the midfield will be very moved by him, for me he is one of the best players in the world , age? no, he doesn't have age, he has life, that's what Modric enjoys , I didn't want him to leave Madrid but it seems that the game that Xavi will propose will be with a much faster style, Modric's style will fit very well in Milan since he makes changes of speed as the game develops.
Kevin De Bruyne will be Serie A's best... if Luka Modric lets him! Axel Witsel hails new signings and backs ex-Man City star and Romelu Lukaku to fire Napoli to another title
Quote
Speaking to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Witsel said: "It's no coincidence that AC Milan rightly chose the 39-year-old Modric, and Italian champions Napoli chose the 34-year-old De Bruyne. Two absolute phenomena: they could have gone elsewhere, but I understand their decision and I'd like to emulate them.
"Kevin will have to adapt to Conte and Napoli, who play differently than City. But De Bruyne is a champion and will prove to be the best midfielder in Serie A. Modric permitting: Luka lives for football, he will carry Allegri's AC Milan. De Bruyne is exceptional; I expect at least 10 goals and 15 assists in Naples. He won't even need to speak to Lukaku on the pitch: they've had a great connection since their first years together in Belgium and they understand each other instantly, just a glance is enough."

The respect and admiration they have for Croatians is impressive; it's definitely worth enjoying watching these games every time they play.
