Sensational news has emerged in the football world: Luka Modric is expected to return to Real Madrid. According to the Italian publication Tuttosport, the Croatia captain has been "indirectly informed" about starting a new chapter at his former club. This is reported by Goal.com reports .
According to reports, Modric could take up a management position at the Spanish giants or work in the club's sporting department alongside Jose Mourinho. Interestingly, it was during Mourinho's tenure that Modric took his first steps at the Santiago Bernabeu. Now, there is a possibility that the specialist could become the midfielder's direct superior or colleague.
The Real Madrid board is not considering such an option for the first time. Previously, Modric's long-time partner on the pitch, Toni Kroos, had rejected a similar offer. The publication notes that the playmaker's playing career is nearing its end.
Modric's contract with his current team expires at the end of June. Although there is an option to extend the contract for another year, he does not intend to use this clause. Recent events, particularly the team missing out on a Champions League spot and resignations in the club's management, have solidified his decision.
All signs point to a worthy conclusion to his career. The legendary player, who has made 196 appearances for his country, is expected to hang up his boots after the upcoming World Cup.
