Pjanic says Allegri ‘loves’ Modric and they will be ‘great together’ at Milan

The former Roma and Juventus player Miralem Pjanic believes the Max Allegri and Luka Modric combination will be perfect for AC Milan, as the head coach has wanted the midfielder for some time. 

Modric was the Rossoneri’s second signing of the summer, joining shortly after Samuele Ricci was announced, but he’s currently on vacation. Having featured in the Club World Cup with Real Madrid, he needed some extra time off compared to his new teammates.

Next week, the Croatian should be at Milanello for his first training session with the team. It won’t just be an opportunity for him to get to know his new teammates, though, but also the head coach Allegri. The latter has been a huge fan for some time.

Pjanic on Modric joining Milan

Speaking to today’s edition of Gazzetta dello Sport (via MilanNews), the former Roma and Juventus midfielder Pjanic was asked about Modric’s arrival. He made it clear that the 39-year-old will make a perfect combo with Allegri.

“Max is the best at managing groups. Modric is a champion, he brings quality, experience, and calmness to the game: he’s a player Allegri has sought out and loves, they’ll be great together. A great pairing. Whether it’ll be enough for the Scudetto remains to be seen,” he stated.
