Luka Modrić's Longevity Highlighted in Milan Pre‑Season and Diet

Croatian midfield legend Luka Modrić, who will turn 41 in a month, continues to perform at the highest level with AC Milan. The club re‑signed the former Real Madrid and Tottenham star and coach Ruben Amorim praised his experience ahead of a pre‑season match against Inter Milan in Perth, Australia. Teammate Matteo Gabbia said Modrić’s professionalism and game‑reading still benefit younger players.

Separately, chef Gordon Lenni revealed an elaborate meal prepared for Modrić, featuring homemade focaccia with tomato, bao with beef, beef tartare with burrata, vitello tonnato, penne with meatballs, ribeye steak, cotoletta alla milanese, assorted vegetables and desserts such as tiramisu and Basque cheesecake. The varied, high‑quality diet underscores the fitness and recovery regime that has helped the midfielder maintain elite performance into his forties.
