Modrić’s Return to Madrid Plans | MLS News

Luka Modrić, the legendary midfielder who just wrapped up his Real Madrid chapter after 13 seasons and 28 trophies, is still playing at AC Milan — and even earned Serie A Team of the Year honors. But his story isn’t over: he’s planning a return to Madrid post-retirement, not as a spectator but as a meaningful contributor. Speaking to MARCA, Modrić revealed he sees Madrid as home and wants to give back to the club that gave him everything. He also reflected on his 2012 move from Tottenham, crediting José Mourinho’s relentless push for the deal — despite a rocky debut season that saw him labeled the worst signing. Though their time together was brief, Modrić treasures what he learned and jokes it’s too late to play under Mourinho again — but maybe he’ll get a chance to work with him behind the scenes.
