Sacchi: "Milan, be careful about Modric. At 40 years old he can play part time at most"

The question that is inflaming Milan's present is the following: are the Rossoneri right to focus on Luka Modric, a player who is approaching forty years old and who, in the last two seasons, has not been a starter for Real Madrid? The debate is open, certainly the choice is rather bizarre: generally you focus on young people, or at least that's what you should do, to build a team that has the obligation to restore enthusiasm to a public disappointed by recent seasons. I tried to analyze the situation by putting myself in the shoes of a Milan director and trying to understand the reasons for this choice. I considered the economic aspect: Modric is a free agent and arrives on a free transfer, while the cost of his salary should be around 3.5 million euros. For the club, therefore, it is a good deal from a financial point of view: there are young players who, between the cost of the registration and the salary, require a significantly higher outlay and certainly do not have the technical qualities of Modric.
