Luka Modric never really left Real Madrid in his mind. Now at AC Milan, the Croatian midfielder confided in an interview with A.S. his desire to one day return to the Madrid club, once his playing career is over. “ I hope this happens. Real Madrid is my home and always will be. I will always be a madridista for everything I experienced there », Explained the former Ballon d’Or, who describes his years in the Spanish capital as the best of his professional and personal life. Modric, however, does not yet know in what form this return could take place, between a role of coach, manager or another function within the institution.
The Croatian certainly does not want to obtain a position solely thanks to his status as a club legend. “ I wouldn’t return to Real Madrid just for my reputation, without really knowing what I’m doing “, he warns. Modric wants to be able to bring something concrete and says he is ready to train before considering this new step. “ If I come back, I want to be useful, important and play a key role, whatever my position », he continues, also using a phrase recently used by José Mourinho on the importance of working for Real Madrid. As he continues his career in Milan, the midfielder therefore keeps a specific idea in mind for his post-career.
