‘Modric didn’t want to leave Real Madrid after bad season’ – Boban explains why AC Milan move didn’t happen

The Croatia international is a fan of the Serie A giants, but the Ballon d’Or winner feels he has a few wrongs to right at the Santiago Bernabeu

Luka Modric remains on the books at Real Madrid because he “didn’t want to leave after a bad season”, says AC Milan director and fellow Croat Zvonimir Boban.

The Rossoneri had been hoping to take the current holder of the Ballon d’Or to San Siro over the summer.

They had been given hope by Modric, with the 33-year-old making no secret of his fondness for the Serie A side.
