Modric creates a fever

Early morning of August 5, Luka Modric officially debuted for AC Milan with shirt number 14.

Modric's appearance in the "Rossoneri" jersey attracted the attention of many fans. According to Italian media, hundreds of fans gathered at the place where Modric was introduced and continuously chanted the name of the Croatian veteran.

Modric was warmly welcomed.

At 39, Modric was still warmly welcomed as a blockbuster signing by the red and black striped team. His presentation was comparable to the atmosphere when Kaka returned in 2013.

"I grew up with Italian football. AC Milan has always been my favorite team," Modric shared on the day he started a new chapter in his career.

"My idol is Zvonimir Boban. I have positive feelings about the upcoming season. Last year, Milan had a great performance against Real Madrid. We will maintain that level for as long as possible. AC Milan will not accept mediocrity, because we are one of the top clubs in the world ," the Croatia captain added.

Also at the launch, the former Real star set a goal of helping Milan win a ticket to the 2026/27 Champions League, along with a number of titles.

"I feel lucky to be here. I want to contribute with my passion, work ethic and experience. I can't wait to start my new job," the 1985-born player shared.

AC Milan will have two friendly matches on August 9 and 10 against Leeds and Chelsea, then play a match in the round of 32 of the national cup against Bari on August 18. This could be Modric's debut match in the new shirt.
