🎤 Not in the mood for singing: Modric’s unusual Milan debut | OneFootball

Classic introduction rounds, funny games, or the obligatory singing for a new start – that's the nightmare for many introverted people. Luka Modrić likely felt the same way when he joined AC Milan after leaving Real Madrid in the summer.

As in many clubs – from local leagues to the Champions League – there seems to be a tradition there: newcomers have to sing.

However, the Croatian didn't seem to be in the mood for that at all. To avoid the embarrassing karaoke performance, Modrić simply brought a new iPhone for each of his new teammates. This was revealed by Milan striker Santiago Jiménez in a TikTok livestream.

"We came into the locker room, and every player saw a brand new iPhone at their spot. Instead of singing, he bought the phones," said Jiménez. Presumably a gift that his new colleagues were even more delighted about than the traditional singing performance, which Modrić managed to skip.
