The report says Suker is convinced Modric will be involved with Real Madrid again, but it does not establish whether that would be as a player, coach, technical staff member or in another position.
“Tenho certeza de que ele vai fazer alguma coisa com o Real Madrid, posso te garantir isso,” Suker added. In English, his message was clear: he believes Modric will do something with the club, even if the details remain private.
A return to the Bernabéu has not been officially confirmed, and there is no indication yet of a completed agreement. The uncertainty is particularly notable because Modric has spent much of his career as one of Real Madrid’s defining midfielders, making any future role potentially significant.
Modric’s influence extends beyond his performances. His leadership, experience and understanding of the club could make him a natural candidate for a transition into coaching, football operations or an ambassadorial role. However, his continued quality means a playing return cannot be dismissed solely because of his age or career stage.
Suker was careful not to reveal more when asked about the possibility. “Não posso dizer mais, não posso dizer mais, meu amigo. Me dê espaço, você não pode dizer tudo,” he replied, reinforcing the sense that discussions may be taking place without a settled public outcome.
The report says Modric is also set to captain Croatia against England in the World Cup group stage. Suker indicated that the wider Real Madrid picture may become clearer after the tournament.
For now, the most credible conclusion is that a Madrid reunion is being suggested, not confirmed. The key question is whether Modric returns to the pitch, joins the coaching structure or begins a different chapter at the club where he established his legacy.
