The most decorated player in the history of the greatest and most decorated team, Real Madrid, will end his super-rich career after the Club World Cup in the United States.
Luka Modrić came from Tottenham at the insistence of José Mourinho, and the world media calls the Croatian virtuoso's 28 trophies his legacy.
And Mourinho doesn't hide it: "The recommendation of my friend Peđa Mijatović was crucial. He recommended Luka Modrić to me when I asked him who was the best to hire for the position I wanted. It's true that I was judged because he was too expensive for a player without trophies outside of Croatia, but I respect Peđa's opinion..."
And according to the current value of money, Real then set aside close to 100 million euros.
Mijatović modestly emphasized that he only recommended Modrić to Mourinho and that he did not participate in the transfer, although in Croatia there is no doubt that the relationship between Mijatović and Modrić is special.
"I know Luka very well, his hunger for the game... He won't stay in Spain, but don't be surprised if he ends up in one of the clubs in England, Italy or Germany. Many clubs want him. I think he will stay in Europe. He is still ready and wants to compete," said the legendary Real Madrid striker and one of the greatest Montenegrin footballers.
The announcement of Modrić's departure is still the main topic of all media outlets around the world. Praise and farewells from all the legendary Real Madrid players are quoted, and everyone speaks of Modrić in superlatives.
Naćo was the most original.
"Your name is on the Real Madrid crest"!
Marka reacted with a headline.
And the world's best sports daily didn't stop there - Modrić is in the top 10 of the biggest club. Ahead of Puskas, Laudrup...
