Adani’s Bold Comparison: Reijnders as Modric’s Potential Successor at Real Madrid

Former player turned analyst Lele Adani has made a flattering comparison between AC Milan’s Tijjani Reijnders and Real Madrid’s Luka Modric. Speaking on “Viva El Futbol,” Adani praised the Dutch midfielder’s exceptional season and speculated on his future career prospects.

Reijnders has undoubtedly been Milan’s standout performer this season, consistently excelling in midfield and contributing significantly in the goal-scoring department. His impressive tally includes several braces and a crucial goal against Verona, securing three vital points for the Rossoneri.

Adani boldly stated, “In my opinion, Reijnders could now be Modric’s replacement. If Modric, who’s 39, leaves Real Madrid, I believe Reijnders should be among the candidates to fill his shoes. He plays that style of football. Reijnders is a complete player.”

This high praise from the former Inter player underscores Reijnders’ rapid rise and potential to reach the highest levels of European football. As Modric’s illustrious career at Real Madrid nears its end, the football world will be watching closely to see if Reijnders can indeed follow in the footsteps of the Croatian maestro.
