My take on Modric joining Milan: for Milan, it’s a smart move to fill one of their biggest gaps with a player who brings top-level intelligence and experience. And for Luka, it’s a chance to stay at a high level and play a part in rebuilding the squad. He’s not the same player he was at his peak with Real Madrid or Croatia, but even in decline, he can still dictate the tempo and bring quality to the midfield. If he stays fit, he’s got enough left to make an impact in Serie A. On top of that, Modric has the character to become a real leader in the dressing room — he wore the armband recently and could easily take on that role in this new-look Milan side.
