Big news! AC Milan poached Modric: The director personally flew to Croatia to play the emotional card

AC Milan's transfer to sign Modric has finally settled, but behind this deal is a little-known story. It turned out that club sports director Tare had secretly flew to Croatia before the transfer was finalized, meeting the legendary midfielder in person, impressing the opponent with sincerity. In his first interview after joining, Modric revealed that it was this meeting that made him determined to choose Milan. Although he received many invitations from the team, he was moved by this sincerity when Milan extended an olive branch and Tare went to Croatia to discuss the club's plans with him. "A giant like Milan with a brilliant history cannot be satisfied with mediocrity. We should aim for a higher goal - to compete for the championship and compete with the strongest team in Europe. This is why I came here. " Modric said.

media footage once captured the scene of Tare wearing headphones and standing on the bus, and no one thought about the real purpose of the journey at that time. It now seems that it was this secret operation that led to the deal. According to the plan proposed by Milan, Modric signed a "1+1" contract. Tare regards him as the core of the team's reconstruction, not only paying attention to his competitive state, but also his rich experience and leadership temperament.

A year later, when we look back at this trip to Croatia, we may become more aware of its value. For Milan, this is not only a signing, but also a pledge to future ambitions.
