Luka Modric to AC Milan: the situation
AC Milan have made an inquiry about Real Madrid star Luka Modric but what are the chances we see the Croatian midfielder at San Siro?
MILAN TRANSFER NEWS – In the last hours, rumors about a possible transfer of Luka Modric to AC Milan have increased. Yesterday the Rossoneri management met with Vlado Lemic, one of his agents, and the gossip resurfaced again.
The 33 year old Croatian midfielder would be an extraordinary signing for Marco Giampaolo’s midfield, there is no doubt. Despite his age, Modric is a player still in great shape and can play at least a couple of seasons at an excellent level. Except his technical contribution, he can give so much with his personality and a such a purchase would also help AC Milan’s transfer business. But the operation looks quite difficult.
Sky Sport explains that there are currently no negotiations between Milan and Real Madrid. AC Milan have made an inquiry about Luka Modric and his situation at Real Madrid. If Los Blancos decide to make a revolution in midfield and sell the Ballon d’Or winner at a not excessive price, then the Rossoneri could certainly try.
Without forgetting the salary of Modric, who earns about 12.5 million euros a year and must accept a pay cut. The relationship between him and Zvonimir Boban is excellent, but obviously it is not enough. It is necessary that Real Madrid establish a reasonable price and that the player reviews his economic claims. Otherwise it is unthinkable for this dream to become a reality.
After spending more than 300 million euros so far, Real Madrid need to sell some players to balance their books. The potential arrival of Pogba and Eriksen in Spain would limit Modric‘s play time, something that the Croatian wizard is not willing to accept. His contract with Real Madrid expires next year. We must wait for the next few days to see if there can be concrete developments on this front and if Modric is destined to remain an unfulfilled dream.
