Luka Modric suggests Serie A could be a viable move
Real Madrid's Croatian midfielder and holder of the Ballon d'Or is focused on Real Madrid, for now, but discussed a potential switch to Italy.
Real Madrid midfielder Luka Modric revealed he liked Italy and could be open to a move to Serie A in the future.
Italian ideas for Modric
The 34-year-old claimed the Golden Foot award on Tuesday, almost a year after winning the Ballon d'Or following a tremendous 2018.
However, Modric has only made three LaLiga starts for Madrid this season and has previously been linked with a move to both Milan clubs. The Croatia international said he followed Serie A and enjoyed Italy, with a move possible in the future.
"I like Italy, it's close to Croatia," he told Sky Sport. "I follow Serie A because I have many national team-mates playing there.
"The Italians are fantastic and have a mentality similar to us Croats."

Modric then added: "We'll see if one day I can play in Italy. I cannot talk about this because I am a Real Madrid player.
