Luka Modric, Ivan Rakitic and Mateo Kovacic play for the two Spanish giants Real Madrid and Barcelona. They have won a plethora of trophies with these two clubs with Modric and Rakitic playing a huge role in the success of their respective clubs.
Miralem Pjanic has played for Lyon, Roma and Juventus with incredible success. He was the top assist provider in Serie A in two successive seasons while he was with Roma. Marcelo Brozovic is another midfielder plying his trade in Serie A. The Croatian has played a big role in getting Inter Milan back into the Champions League.

Milinkovic-Savic, on the other hand, is considered a future superstar and at the 23-year-old has been constantly linked with a move to some of Europe’s biggest clubs.
