Luka Modric<\/a> has been tipped to make a sensational return to Real Madrid by his fellow Croatia legend Davor Suker, via Radio MARCA<\/a>. <\/p>\n Modric fled the Bernabeu to AC Milan last summer, after a highly-successful 13-year stint which saw him lift the Champions League on no fewer than six occasions.<\/p>\n With Florentino Perez<\/a> – who bought Modric from Spurs in 2012 – re-elected, Madrid are currently undergoing a major restructure.<\/p>\n Jose Mourinho<\/a> was the manager when the midfielder arrived from the Premier League in said year, and he\u2019s now in charge again in the Spanish capital as Los Blancos\u2019 fourth tactical leader in a year.<\/p>\n Suker tipped a Real Madrid return for Modric<\/p>\n Regarding his compatriot\u2019s future, Suker said: \u201cNow they asked me where he\u2019s going to stay, either in Milan or in Madrid… I think something is going to happen with Real Madrid.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019ll definitely come back, but I don\u2019t know how… Let\u2019s wait until after the World Cup and see what happens,\u201d Suker then added. <\/p>\n On Wednesday, Modric will once more lead his country against England, in a Group L match played in Arlington, Texas.<\/p>\n Given Modric turns 41 on September 9th, Suker was probed on whether his return to the Bernabeu would come as a player or in some sort of backroom or coaching role.<\/p>\n \u201cI can\u2019t say any more, I can\u2019t say any more, my friend. Give me some space, you can\u2019t say everything,\u201d Suker protested.<\/p>\n Suker was once more affirmative, however, stating: \u201cI\u2019m sure he’s going to do something with Real Madrid, I can assure you of that.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s one of the best in the world and, of course, the best in Croatia,\u201d concluded Suker, who himself had his own stint in the Spanish capital during the 1990s.<\/p>\n As for Modric, it\u2019s possible that he could take some sort of coaching role on Mourinho\u2019s staff. We saw him offered such a role with Carlo Ancelotti<\/a>, and his close relationship with the Portuguese might facilitate a move onto the bench as an assistant.<\/p>\n
