The 39-year-old Magic Diary refuses to lie down and earns 100 million! European giants rob: Milan s two heroes start to fight, Paris spends money to disrupt the situation

What do you think that a 39-year-old football veteran can still make European giants steal the top? Yes, it's Modric, the Croatian midfielder who had just bid farewell to Real Madrid's 13-year legendary career in the summer of 2024, has just turned the transfer market upside down. AC Milan, Inter Milan, Paris Saint-Germain, and even Serie A Transparent Cuomo are all here to join in the fun. He doesn't even look down on Saudi Arabia's annual salary of 100 million euros and insists on staying in the top European league to play football. To put it bluntly, isn’t this just a naked slap in the face of those keyboard warriors who say “you should retire when you are old”? To be honest, I admire this stubbornness, but I am also curious. Can he withstand high-intensity competitions at his age without collapsing? Let’s take a look. Today, let’s dig through the story of this “Demonic Flute”.

Let me first talk about why these wealthy families are so agitated against an old man who is almost 40 years old. Look at Modric's data, he doesn't look like a human! He made 27 appearances in La Liga this season, playing directly all over the game 13 times, and his running distance is still in the top five in Real Madrid. In the Champions League knockout match against Manchester City, I was able to pass two consecutive times in overtime, and I was so desperate that I couldn't find the opponent. There is also his physical examination report, which Milan laboratory suspected was fake when it got it - the body fat rate is 7.3%, which is lower than a bunch of 25-year-old young players, and his cardiopulmonary function has almost no deterioration. Inter Milan's medical team found his records ten years ago, but there was no change. The team doctor couldn't help but complain: "This guy is Frankenstein, right?" Not to mention that he practiced yoga for two hours every day. This level of self-discipline, tsk, if you taste it carefully, which young man can compare? In my eyes, this is not just awesome data, but his ultimate respect for his profession. How can he not convince people if he can still fight like this at the age of 39?

Let's talk about his past glory, we have to start with the 2018 World Cup in Russia. That year, Modric led the Croatian team to the finals, his personal performance exploded, and he directly won the World Cup Golden Globe Award. In the same year, he also broke the ten-year monopoly of Messi and Ronaldo, won the Golden Ball Award, and became the new football king. Fast forward to the 2022 Qatar World Cup. At the age of 37, he averaged more than 10 kilometers per game, with a pass success rate of up to 89%. He played in 7 games and helped Croatia win the third place. I remember that in the semi-final match against Argentina, he was knocked down several times, and he still got up and was as stable as Mount Tai in the midfield. His passing was as accurate as if he had installed navigation. At that moment, my eyes were wet - this is not a veteran, he is clearly the immortal god of war on the court! To be honest, who wouldn’t be moved by the hardcore performance in such a big scene? When a wealthy family robs him, it is not the person he grabs, but the experience of being able to determine the world at critical moments!

Speaking of the competition between wealthy families, this drama is even more exciting than a TV series. AC Milan was so anxious that she was like an ant on the hot pan. Last season, Inter Milan was hit by the Champions League. The midfield lacked an old man who could control the rhythm, so they offered Modric a 1+1 contract with an annual salary of 5 million euros, promising to be the main player, and even join the coaching staff after retirement. Inter Milan is not willing to be outdone, and directly offers an annual salary of 6 million euros. He also brought Croatian fellow Brozovic to play the family card. I heard that Inter Milan executives held a video meeting with Modric's team in the middle of the night, and were about to intercept the mortal enemy in the Hutong City. Paris Saint-Germain is even more ruthless. It has a 2-year contract with an annual salary of 10 million euros. It is directly packaged and given to the starting position of the Champions League. The money tycoons of Qatar are really not worth it. But the competitiveness of Ligue 1 looks like "semi-retirement early", Modric's team has complained about this in private. What's even more interesting is that Milan sent a scout to watch his last few Real Madrid games on the spot, while Inter Milan called to ask about the progress every day. The atmosphere of this secret battle was so nervous that I was worried for them. To be honest, I think the two Milan heroes are more sincere. Although Paris has good conditions, I always feel that there is less competitive flavor. How can I choose the Magic Flute?

But then again, Modric can't be easily smashed by money. Saudi Riyadh won the annual salary of 100 million euros. Ronaldo personally called for a reunion of his old teammates and promised a private plane and a luxury villa. What's going on? If you weren't you moved? As a result, Magic Diary directly refused: "I want to play football, not to bask in the sun!" On the Miami International side of the MAF, Messi personally called and talked about the old days of Barcelona and wanted him and Busquets to form a midfield iron triangle. Unfortunately, the intensity of the American League is not enough for Magic Diary, who still wants to play in the 2026 World Cup. This attitude is so tough that it is speechless! At first glance, I think this is a pure love for football. No matter how much money it costs, it cannot buy his desire for games. This kind of stubbornness is really exciting.

Finally, I have to express Real Madrid's farewell, and the scene is really sad. In June 2024, Modric officially left Real Madrid. After the last game, he hugged his teammates and tears couldn't stop flowing. Bellingham called him online as "the greatest mentor of his career", and Ronaldo praised him as "the magician on the court." Real Madrid also allowed him to take away the locker room for 13 years of lucky towel, the Croatian flag towel that had been washed until white, witnessing all his championship moments. Florentino even called the top three in the Serie A to help him find his next home. That friendship was so warm. Imagine a veteran standing in the center of the Bernabeu Stadium, wearing a Real Madrid jersey for the last time, and the fans shouted his name. The touching and reluctance at that moment could simply break the defense. I have to say that the aura of the locker room leader and the respect of teammates are not something that any player can have. The Magic Flute is worth it. No one can tell what the future path will take. Which wealthy family will Modric choose? Can he make some big noise in the 2026 World Cup? Let's wait and see!
