Despite interest from Saudi Arabia, Luka Modric signed a new contract with Real Madrid earlier this summer, extending his stay at the club to a twelfth season. The Croatian international signed a one-year contract that will see him run until the end of the current season. While Modric appears to be focused on his current time at Real Madrid, his former club, Dinamo Zagreb, is dreaming of the possibility of winning the club back. The 38-year-old player is ending his career where it began.
The club that dreams of signing Luka Modric
In an interview with Index (via MD), Dinamo president Vlatka Peras expressed his desire to bring Modric back to the club next summer. “He is in the last year of his contract, I will call him in the winter. I can’t.” Let’s say I’m in constant contact with him, but I know members of his family. It would make sense for him to return to Dinamo at the end of his career. Dinamo will certainly do everything in its power to make this happen. Now we will let’s see if this is enough.
It would be a fairytale ending to an incredible career if Modric returned to Dinamo Zagreb next summer, although it is currently unlikely that the player is considering the possibility. His focus, as always, will be on Real Madrid and contributing to the team’s success this season.
Modric is revered at both Real Madrid and Dinamo Zagreb and his return to the Croatian club would be an emotional moment for fans and a fitting way to bring his career full circle. However, Modric’s future remains uncertain and will depend on many variables, including his own will and the final decision of the White club. Modric and football fans will be watching closely to see how events unfold in the coming months.
