Luka Modric has spoken openly about his future and his enduring connection with Real Madrid. The former Madrid midfielder will remain at AC Milan for another season and has admitted that he would like to return to the Spanish club in the future.
At 41, Modric was named one of the three best midfielders in Serie A last season, underlining his continued ability to compete at the highest level.
The Croatian explained his decision to continue playing: "I wouldn't be playing if I knew I couldn't compete at the highest level."
However, Modric also made it clear where he sees himself in the future. "Real Madrid is my home, and I would love to return."
Speaking to Marca after being named one of the three best midfielders in Serie A, Modric reflected on his bond with the club: “I am a Madridista and always will be. I still sometimes watch footage of my farewell ceremony, knowing that I really did something great at the biggest club in the world. Sometimes I run into Madridistas in public, and they ask me when I'm coming back home. So, of course, I would love to return someday, but I don't want to come back just for the sake of it, just to be there. I really want to help Real Madrid, I want to be useful to the club, not just sit there doing nothing. Real Madrid gave me everything, so I will only return to work for Real Madrid, not just to work at Real Madrid.”
While Modric is set to continue his playing career with AC Milan for another season, his long-term plans appear to include a return to Real Madrid in a role where he believes he can genuinely contribute to the club.
