"We arrived at our dressing room and each player had the new iPhone in his place, Modrić gave it to us. He bought each of us a phone. When a player arrives at a new team he has to sing in front of everyone. Instead of singing, he decided to buy everyone phones,"
"Modric's arrival on a free transfer from Real Madrid was greeted with a lot of excitement and rightly so, given what he has won in his professional career, including a Ballon d'Or. He has been placed quite literally in the centre of Massimiliano Allegri's tactical plans as the middle piece of a three-man midfield, and he has continued to play at an elite level despite being 40."
"Many team-mates have already spoken of his human qualities too, though. Modric is leading by example in the dressing room, as Santiago Gimenez also confirmed during an interview on 'Jorgio & Rubio'."
Luka Modrić joined AC Milan on a free transfer from Real Madrid, bringing Ballon d'Or-winning experience and sustained elite performance at age 40. Massimiliano Allegri has placed Modrić centrally as the middle piece of a three-man midfield, where his tactical influence remains significant. Modrić showed leadership and generosity by placing a new iPhone at each teammate's dressing-room seat to replace the traditional initiation singing. Teammates have praised his human qualities and his habit of leading by example. The gesture reinforced squad unity and underscored Modrić's role as both a sporting and cultural influence within the team.
