"It was incredible, magnificent. That match changed everything. Real Madrid at home in the Champions League, on my birthday, the final victory, all the elements came together to make that magical moment. I almost had to pinch myself to believe it. I didn't really realise what was happening. Iniesta and Modric have always been my go-to players, and Modric came on..."
"But at the end of the match, I was so distracted that, frankly, I didn't even pay attention to him. I didn't even pick up my shirt, nothing. I was in a dream, I had no control anymore. If Luka Modric were to endorse a move to the Diavolo, perhaps it could sweeten the deal. However, whether it would be enough is something which would need to be seen."
AC Milan have tracked Ayyoub Bouaddi for nearly two years and maintained interest even after Paulo Fonseca's arrival failed to produce signings. Bouaddi and teammate Tiago Santos drew regular links to several European clubs, with Bouaddi now attracting broad continental attention. Milan still appear among the clubs monitoring the 18-year-old midfielder, but competition and potential cost may limit immediate options. Bouaddi named Iniesta and Luka Modric as his inspirations and described an emotional Champions League birthday experience that left him overwhelmed. A Modric endorsement could potentially improve Milan's chances, though its impact on a final deal is uncertain.
