Guest of Telefoot before an electric return match between France and Croatia in the quarterfinals of League Nations this Sunday, Luka Modric spoke of France, a country in which he could have played. âIt was not done, there were some possibilities, which did not materialize when I left Tottenham. When Real Madrid called me, nothing else was in my eyes âsaid the Croatian midfielder.
When he left the Spurs in August 2012, the Croatian was already a confirmed player that few Ligue 1 clubs could have been offered outside a newly Saint-Germain Paris under Qatari pavilion. Luka Modric alongside Javier Pastore and Thiago Motta, this is a midfielder that could have dazzled the French championship like Europe.
