  ♣ His Family: Luka Modric's parents are Radojka Dopuđ and Radojka Dopuđ. His father was an aviation mechanic and his mother was a textile worker, and the family was financially below average. Because his parents were refugees from Serbian invaders during the terrible Bosnian War, which undoubtedly took a toll on his family's financial situation. It goes without saying that he spent most of his childhood at his grandparents' house due to his parents' poor financial situation. But sadly, his grandfather was later executed by Serbian rebels. Their home was burned down, and as a result, the family was forced to flee the area. In those turbulent years, bombs always came at irregular intervals. During that time, football was the best haven for young people in the city.

The Story of Luka Modric

Luca has been fascinated by football since he was a child. Although short and thin for a child his age, he has a talent for playing football. He was questioned and rejected many times, but he was finally signed by the "Dinamo Zagreb" by his efforts, and he finally signed a 10-year contract.

He was 16 when he was signed by "Dinamo Zagreb" in 2002. However, he is still considered too young to play in a senior club team. Therefore, in 2003 he was loaned to "Zrinjski Mostar" and in 2004 to "Inter Zaprešić". While Luka has only scored 12 goals in 40 games for both teams, which is not a stellar goalscoring record, it was an above-average performance as a midfielder. As such, he made his debut for Dinamo in 2005. 

In his first regular-season as a "Dinamo" senior, he scored seven goals in 31 games. This is a very good result. In his second season with "Dinamo", he received the "Prva HNL Player of the Year Award". He also led the team to win the 2007 "Croatia Cup".

In 2008, he was signed by the "English Premier League" team "Tottenham Hotspur". During his 2010-2011 season with "Tottenham Hotspur", he also led the team to their first "Champions League" appearance in the past 50 years, with the team eventually reaching the quarter-finals.

In 2012, Luka moved to "Real Madrid". His excellent performance earned him a "team of the season" before the end of the 2013-2014 "Champions League".
