Legendary midfielder Luka Modric may be dominating the Serie A midfield, but it’s his off-field antics that have stolen the spotlight. AC Milan forward Santiago Gimenez has revealed how the Croatian star escaped the team’s traditional initiation ritual with a clever and generous move a Luka Modric iPhone Gift for every teammate.
After joining AC Milan on a free transfer from Real Madrid, Modric was expected to take part in the usual locker room tradition where every new player performs a song in front of the squad. But the 39-year-old veteran found an ingenious way to buy his way out of the spotlight.
“We arrived in the dressing room and each player found a new iPhone at his spot,” Gimenez shared on TikTok. “Modric gave it to us as a gift. Instead of singing, he bought each of us a phone.”
The seven-time Ballon d’Or winner, known for his humility and professionalism, displayed a humorous and thoughtful side with this generous gesture. His approach not only silenced the initiation tradition but also earned him instant admiration from his new teammates.
Since arriving in Milan, Modric has continued to influence the team both on and off the pitch. He became the oldest midfielder to score in Serie A history and helped lead AC Milan to the top of the table. Beyond his masterful playmaking, this story shows that Modric’s leadership and charisma extend far beyond the field — proving that sometimes, generosity can hit just as hard as a perfect pass.
