&lt;p&gt;Serie A is preparing to welcome a living legend of world football: &lt;strong&gt;Luka Modrić&lt;/strong&gt;, one of the best midfielders of his generation and one of the most prolific winners in the history of club football, has chosen &lt;strong&gt;AC Milan &lt;/strong&gt;to write the final chapter of his extraordinary career.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;LUKA MODRIĆ TO AC MILAN: A RECORD-BREAKING LIST OF ACHIEVEMENTS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;At almost 40 years old (a birthday that he will celebrate with the Rossoneri on 9 September), the Croatian maestro has left Real Madrid after 13 seasons full of triumphs and achievements. He joined the Merengues way back in 2012, and with Real he won &lt;strong&gt;6 UEFA Champions Leagues&lt;/strong&gt;, becoming (alongside Francisco Gento and his teammates Carvajal,&amp;nbsp;Nacho&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;Kroos) the player with the most continental titles. Modrić is also the player with the most &lt;strong&gt;UEFA Supercups &lt;/strong&gt;(five like Paolo Maldini,&amp;nbsp;Toni Kroos&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;Daniel Carvajal) and &lt;strong&gt;FIFA Club World Cups&lt;/strong&gt;/FIFA International Cups (six like Kroos). He was their captain, and remains a true symbol of the club with the most titles in the world, and with 28 won, &lt;strong&gt;he is Real Madrid’s most prolific trophy-winner in history&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;ce9cf971-c900-462c-af86-96262c05d2d2&#34; data-image-id=&#34;ce9cf971-c900-462c-af86-96262c05d2d2&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/09bae538-7e5d-41aa-96bd-8e938af53682/Sito_HERO_modric_croazia.jpg&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;ce9cf971-c900-462c-af86-96262c05d2d2&#34; data-image-id=&#34;ce9cf971-c900-462c-af86-96262c05d2d2&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;Modrić is also an icon for &lt;strong&gt;Croatia&lt;/strong&gt; as their all-time most-capped player with 188 appearances from 2005 to today. In 2018, in particular, Luka led his country to the World Cup Final, earning himself the player of the tournament prize and winning the prestigious &lt;strong&gt;Ballon d’Or&lt;/strong&gt; at the end of the year. In fact, he was the first player to break Messi and Ronaldo’s ten-year dominance. The Croatian is now added to the list of Ballon d’Or winners making the move to Italy from abroad: first of all there was Luis Suárez (from Barcelona to Inter), Karl-Heinz Rummenigge (from Bayern Munich to Inter), Jean-Pierre Papin (from Marseille to AC Milan), Hristo Stoičkov (from Barcelona to Parma), Rivaldo (from Barcelona to AC Milan), Luis Figo (from Real Madrid to Inter), Ronaldinho (from Barcelona to AC Milan) and Cristiano Ronaldo (from Real Madrid to Juventus).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;6be8f9d1-2c94-40e1-8d3f-95bf180df71e&#34; data-image-id=&#34;6be8f9d1-2c94-40e1-8d3f-95bf180df71e&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/805b4d5a-9fa0-4b3b-84e2-fc875c4f874f/Sito_HERO_modric_oro.jpg&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;6be8f9d1-2c94-40e1-8d3f-95bf180df71e&#34; data-image-id=&#34;6be8f9d1-2c94-40e1-8d3f-95bf180df71e&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;WHAT HE CAN BRING TO AC MILAN: THE RIGHT MAN TO GUIDE IL DIAVOLO&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In &lt;strong&gt;Igli Tare &lt;/strong&gt;and the rest of AC Milan’s directors’ vision, signing Modrić is not a media coup, but an investment into &lt;strong&gt;leadership and working culture&lt;/strong&gt;.
