Croatia football legend Davor Suker has indicated that midfielder Luka Modric will return to Real Madrid after the upcoming World Cup. Suker, a former striker for the La Liga giants, shared his insights with Radio Marca on Wednesday, stating, “Surely, he will return, but I don’t know how.”
Modric is currently finishing his single season at Milan, having joined the club last summer on a one-year agreement. The deal included an option for the Rossoneri to extend his stay for an additional campaign. Despite Milan technically being able to activate this option, it is contingent on Modric’s agreement to remain at San Siro.
Recent developments at Milan, including the club’s failure to qualify for the Champions League and the sacking of coach Massimiliano Allegri, have led to various rumors regarding Modric's future, with some speculating about his potential retirement at the end of the season.
When pressed on whether Modric’s return to Real Madrid would be in a playing capacity, a management role, or as part of José Mourinho’s backroom staff, Suker remained tight-lipped. “I can’t say more, I can’t say more. Leave something a bit in the air; I can’t say it all,” he commented.
During the 2025-26 season with Milan, Modric made 37 appearances, scoring two goals and providing three assists.
