AC Milan is actively pursuing Luka Modric as he prepares to leave Real Madrid after 13 years. The club's sporting director, Igli Tare, highlighted the need for experienced leadership following a challenging season where Milan finished eighth in Serie A. Tare believes Modric's influence and experience, having had significant success at Real Madrid, will be critical in guiding the team forward. He indicated that Modric's desire to compete and to help build a winning mentality aligns with Milan's goals, as they seek additional players to elevate the squad's performance.
The first thing he asked was whether the team would be built to win the league. He's a champion coming from Real Madrid, with six Champions League titles.
I understood that he wants to come here and be a protagonist. He'll be vital in terms of mentality, personality, and leadership.
We analysed [what was missing], and one thing missing last year was clear leadership within the squad.
His arrival is key to being a reference point for a team that needs players of that stature.
