Luka Modrić has already settled into life at AC Milan, and one important detail behind his daily routine has now come to light. The Croatian captain has hired a private chef, who recently gave fans a behind-the-scenes look at the meals prepared for one of football's greatest midfielders.
Italian chef Leonardo Cannavale, better known on social media as Gordon Lenni, shared a video showing one of Modrić's meals. The dish was a simple but carefully balanced plate of pasta with fresh tomato sauce and Parmesan, designed to meet the nutritional demands of an elite athlete.
While the meal looked straightforward, every ingredient and portion was planned to support recovery, maintain energy levels and help Modrić stay in peak physical condition throughout the demanding Serie A season.
Who is Leonardo Cannavale?
Cannavale is a Milan-based professional chef who graduated from the prestigious Le Cordon Bleu culinary school. Before becoming a private chef, he built his reputation in Michelin-starred restaurants across Europe, where he refined his modern approach to fine dining.
He now specializes in preparing personalized menus for elite athletes and their families. Working closely with nutritionists, Cannavale creates meals that combine high-quality ingredients with the precise nutritional requirements of professional footballers.
His client list already includes several well-known Serie A players, including Lautaro Martínez and Matteo Darmian. His growing reputation has been driven by recommendations within football circles and his strong presence on social media, where he regularly shares glimpses of his culinary work.
For Modrić, whose professionalism and attention to detail have been praised throughout his career, a personalized nutrition plan is another piece of the routine that has helped him remain at the highest level well into his late thirties. Milan will hope those standards translate into another influential season as the Croatian legend begins the next chapter of his remarkable career.
