Although he stepped into veteran age, Luka Modrić continues to play football that is rarely seen. In Serie A, he delights week after week, dictates the rhythm, leads the team and, according to the ratings of the Italian media, he is among the best and often the best-rated players in the league.
Regardless of age, Modric looks like he is playing one of his mature, championship seasons – calm, precise and decisive, just like in the best days.
But just as Italy is writing about his new renaissance, sensational news arrives from the Apennines that resonates strongly in Croatia as well.
Italian journalist Pietro Balzano Prota claims that Dinamo has started concrete steps to examine whether there is a real possibility of Luka Modrić’s return to Maksimir.
According to that information, the Blues started with discreet conversations and checking the situation, wanting to find out if Modrić would at the end of the season, and after the World Cup, could return to the club where it all began and conclude a magnificent career there.

The club allegedly wants to be ready if even the slightest space opens up for such a development – a sporting, emotional and symbolic return that would mark an entire era of Croatian football.
For now, only one thing is certain: Luka Modrić is still playing football at the highest level, and while he is delighting Italy, Zagreb is quietly dreaming of the greatest possible comeback, reports Tportal.hr.
