Last summer, Luka Modric joined AC Milan after leaving Real Madrid. Despite being 40 years old, the Croatian maestro continues to play at a top level with impressive minutes on the pitch. According to his teammate Christopher Nkunku, Modric could keep playing for another five or six years.

"Luka is unbelievable: he has a unique talent and delivers exceptional cross-field passes. If I tried that, I'd probably dislocate my hip... It's amazing that he's 40, but he could play until he's 45 or even 46," the French forward told La Gazzetta dello Sport in an interview.
