Milan midfielder Modric: ‘I supported the Rossoneri as a child because of Boban’

Luka Modric has revealed that his connection with Milan runs far deeper than his current chapter in red and black, admitting he grew up supporting the club thanks to his childhood idol, Zvonimir Boban.

Speaking in a wide-ranging interview with Corriere della Sera, the Croatian midfielder explained that while he once believed his career would end at Real Madrid, Milan always held a special place for him.

“As a child I was a Milan fan, because of the hero of my childhood: Boban,” Modric said.
