ROME — A desire to continue playing competitive football in Europe in the twilight of his career prompted Croatia captain Luka Modric to join struggling AC Milan.
"I'm happy to be here and I look forward to a new adventure," the veteran midfielder told Milan's TV channel in an interview posted on July 16, after joining from Real Madrid.
Modric, who turns 40 in September, had won six Champions League crowns, four La Liga titles and two Copa del Rey trophies with the Spanish giants after leaving Tottenham Hotspur in 2012.
"I wanted to stay in Europe, to continue playing competitive football. I had some other offers, but when Milan showed up for me, it was clear from the first moment," he said.
