Modric and Cristiano Ronaldo will be free from any contract this summer and could both make a surprise return to the Spanish capital.
However, it would not be Real Madrid that they would join, this possibility being closed to them for the rest of their careers. Rayo Vallecano could thus accommodate Ronaldo and Modric with open arms.
Rayo Vallecano reveals that the door is open for Ronaldo and Modric
Rayo has the gift of recruiting emblematic players, such as Radamel Falcao and James Rodriguez in recent years. And as President Raul Martin Presa said in Onda Cero (via Ed), the door is open for Ronaldo or Modric to join the Iñigo Perez team.
Falcao wanted to live in Madrid and he came. Players like Modric or Cristiano know that if they want to play Rayo, they will live in Madrid, but they will not be able to win what they have won in the past in terms of wages or trophies.

A transfer to the Rayo could be an interesting perspective for the two players, since they will play the UEFA Conference League next season. None of the two has won the competition since its creation a few years ago, so there could be a desire to check this box before the end of their career.
It is very unlikely that Ronaldo or Modric plan to join the Rayo this summer, but the option exists. It will be very interesting to see where each of the two players will end their career, the options currently turning to MLS or Saudi Arabia, even if Europe is not completely excluded.
