Age appears to be just a number for Luka Modrić, whose remarkable career has found a glorious new chapter in Italy. The 40-year-old midfield maestro has been crowned Serie A's Player of the Month for September, a testament to his enduring class and immediate impact at AC Milan.

This prestigious accolade, awarded by the Italian Footballers' Association and decided by the votes of his fellow professional players, underscores the respect he commands on the pitch. In September, Modrić was not merely a veteran presence but a pivotal force for the Rossoneri, featuring prominently in three league encounters against Bologna, Udinese, and Napoli. Defying the expectations typically associated with his age, he clocked an impressive 261 minutes of high-level football.

Arriving at Milan this summer as a free agent following the expiration of his legendary contract with Real Madrid, the Croatian conductor has seamlessly integrated into the squad. His influence is already quantifiable, with one goal and two assists from ten total appearances for the club. With a contract binding him to Milan until the summer of 2026 and a market value still held at €4 million, Modrić is proving that his genius, vision, and tireless energy remain very much in vogue.
