Luka Modric net worth: Croat was once voted LaLiga's worst signing

Having joined Real Madrid from Tottenham for a reported fee of £30 million (€33m), Luka Modric had a tough time adjusting to life in Spain. An unimpressive debut season saw him manage a mere 19 appearances until the winter break. This ultimately saw him labelled the 'worst signing of the season.'

However, the tag did stick as he went on to find his feet under subsequent managers Carlo Ancelotti and Zinedine Zidane. He succeeded more so under Zidane, who according to Modric, made him realise he was capable of lifting the Ballon d'Or, which he did in 2018.

With four Champions League titles in five years, Luka Modric set his sight on World Cup glory. Although he could not guide his team to the World Cup trophy, what remains memorable is the fact that Croatia played their first final under the leadership of the Real Madrid maestro. His magnificent performance in the top footballing competition won him the Golden Ball award.
