By -

On Monday, Luka Modric brought an end to a decade-long dominance of football’s biggest individual prize, by claiming FIFA’s Best Men’s Player of the Year.

Luka Modric who is a Croatia midfielder, ran out as a resounding winner at the Royal Festival Hall, with 29.05% of the votes.

Captains and managers of nations from around the world were asked to pick three players for the award, and the full list of votes were published shortly after Monday’s ceremony had concluded.

Barcelona forward, Lionel Messi, who surprisingly didn’t make the top three, voted for Modric, Kylian Mbappe and rival Cristiano Ronaldo in that order. Ronaldo, however did not repay the favour, as he voted for Raphael Varane, Modric and Antoine Griezmann.

Chelsea were all set to sign Isco in a £75million deal and had agreed to pay substantial add-ons. Isco and his agent were picking up signing on bonuses, driving up the value of the deal to £100m, but have now asked for more money after interest from Paris Saint-Germain. The Sun claim Chelsea believe Isco has no real desire to play for the club and are poised to pull the plug on the switch. Real are ready to offload Isco as the Spanish side are happy to cash in on a player no longer central to the club’s long-term plans. Mauricio Sarri is said to be disappointed with the sudden U-turn, as the Italian was planning to pair Isco with talisman Eden Hazard. Isco broke his silence on transfer rumours this week, insisting he had no plans to leave Madrid. ‘I’m very excited about the new year,’ Isco told Deportes Cuatro. ‘I’m not going to go in the winter market, I’m very happy, of course...
