Will Luka Modric return to his homeland? The Croatian club owner made a unique and unprecedented gesture with a clear message

Real Madrid is currently at the start of a new era. Seasoned veterans and club legends are slowly starting to be replaced by young hopefuls and rising stars. For example, the phenomenal midfielder Luka Modric, who is likely to leave the club in the summer, is losing his place in the line-up. Will he return to his homeland?

Luka Modric has been a key player in Real Madrid’s midfield for many years. Even at 38, he cannot be classified as old hat. His performances are still fantastic, but unfortunately time cannot be stopped and the Croatian midfielder is playing less and less.

This season, he has only appeared 17 times in the starting line-up, despite starting 34 competitive games. Federico Valverde, Toni Kroos, Aurélien Tchouaméni and Eduaro Camavinga are getting more space.

In addition, the Ballon d’Or winner will see his contract expire in the summer and leave the Santiago Bernabeu after 12 years. The club will lose one of its greatest legends. But what will happen to the Croatian midfielder next is not yet clear.

But both Real Madrid and Luka Modric do not have to worry about the future. A new era awaits Los Blancos, as well as the former Tottenham player, who will probably have no shortage of offers.

There has been speculation for some time about interest from Saudi Arabia, as well as talk that he could head to Florida and play in the same team as Lionel Messi. But there is a completely different, but even more sensational, option in play.

Will Luka Modric return to Croatia?

Luka Modric is a product of Dinamo Zagreb, in whose jersey he broke into senior football. It was from this Croatian big club that he left for Tottenham, from where he made his way to Real Madrid. It is not unrealistic that the circle could be closed and the player would return to the Croatian capital.

After all, he would not be the first to resort to a similar move. For example, Ivan Perisic, another legend of the great Croatian era, is now playing for Hajduk Split. Dinamo Zagreb is interested in the return of the Croatian star. The club’s president Mirko Barisic revealed this at the beginning of the year.

To make matters worse, Barišić also showed his interest with a unique gesture. He decided to pay the Spanish newspaper Marca to dedicate a page in the paper to him with a clear message: ‘Join us. It makes sense. All the sense in the world.”
