Former Barcelona and Croatia midfielder Ivan Rakitic has expressed his admiration for international team-mate Luka Modric, stating that AC Milan are not aware of how lucky are to have the Real Madrid legend in their squad. Rakitic described Modric as a "unique, special" player whose approach to football is "admirable," urging football fans universally to appreciate the 40-year-old's enduring quality.

Christian Pulisic has revealed the “embarrassing” choice that he made for his initiation song at AC Milan. The USMNT star took to belting out Miley Cyrus’ hit ‘Party in the USA’, much to his own disgust. He has also revealed how Luka Modric was able to avoid suffering a similar fate in a group environment by handing out iPhone gifts to his new team-mates at San Siro.

Luka Modric is already drawing lucrative offers from clubs in Qatar and the Saudi Pro League, even as he continues to impress with AC Milan in Serie A. The Croatian maestro, who has defied expectations with his performances, holds the final decision on a potential contract extension with the Rossoneri, who are keen to retain him beyond his current deal's expiration date in June 2026.

Florian Wirtz has been compared to Luka Modric, with Liverpool's struggling £116m signing being backed to silence his doubters just as the former Real Madrid midfielder did. Wirtz was considered one of the brightest midfield talents in the world at Bayer Leverkusen, but the Germany international has experienced a major dip in form since moving to the Premier League.

AC Milan forward Santiago Gimenez shared an interesting story about veteran midfielder Luka Modric, who bought iPhones for everyone in the team after his arrival from Real Madrid. Modric did this to avoid taking part in a dressing room tradition where every new player has to sing a song in front of the rest of the squad. The Croatian midfielder has been one of the standout performers in Serie A this season, inspiring Milan to the top of the league table.
