  • WHAT HAPPENED?

    Terry was stopped at an Italian airport as he prepared to fly home from a party in the country, having linked up with fellow former Premier League players Bobby Zamora and Steve Sidwell. On his way into the building, journalists stopped the ex-Chelsea captain to get his take on Modric's move to Milan.

    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    The Croatia international has already said his goodbyes to Madrid after a trophy-laden 13 years at the Bernabeu in which he won the Champions League a staggering six times. He also won La Liga on four occasions, and Terry says the former Tottenham midfielder is one of the "best players in the world, ever".

  • WHAT TERRY SAID

    Terry told the gaggle of journalists: "He’s one of the best in the world, he still has many, many years to play I’m sure.

    “(He’s a) fantastic person, like I said, one of the best players in the world, ever. Great for Milan for him to sign."

    Asked what Modric would bring to Milan, Terry replied: “I think the experience he has in world football, obviously a big name coming into a fantastic club, one of my favourite clubs in Italy. So yeah, he’s just a world class player that can bring a little bit of experience as well, maybe at a time when Milan need it.”
