Luka Modric is one of the stars of tonight’s derby between AC Milan and Inter, and there will be a big contingent there to cheer him on.
The anticipation is building ahead of what will be a record-breaking derby in terms of revenues, with just less than €9m the expected box office takings from the game, which will make it the highest in Italian football history.

As Sky (via MilanNews) report, Modric has bought and sent around 60 tickets to Croatian relatives and friends who will attend the match. The midfielder is obviously one of the players to watch in what will be his second ‘and perhaps final’ match against Inter, as per the broadcaster.
As a reminder, Modric signed a one-year deal in the summer with the Rossoneri, and there is an option to extend it for another year. However, rather than being a club decision as is usually the game, the 40-year-old will be the one to make the call on if he does another year.
Milan are believed to be pressuring Modric to guide them hopefully back into the Champions League by doing one more season. There are various factors to consider though, such as what his family wants to do, how the midfielder himself feels, and how the World Cup goes.
