Luka Modrić, who departed Real Madrid as a free agent in summer 2025 to join AC Milan, has expressed openness to returning to the Spanish club in a future capacity. The Croatia midfielder spent 13 years at Real Madrid, captaining Los Blancos, and remains closely associated with the Bernabéu side. While Modrić stated his willingness to help Madrid, he emphasized the need for proper preparation for any suitable role and the club's desire for his involvement. Currently, there are no formal talks or agreements in place regarding a post-playing career position. Speculation suggests possibilities such as coaching or a director-type role for the 40-year-old, but neither Real Madrid nor Modrić has confirmed these. He has retired from international football and continues his playing career with AC Milan, with no decision yet on when he will end it.
