Real Madrid is working on bringing Luka Modric back to the club in an unspecified role, Marca reported. Modric departed the Spanish champions last May following 13 years at the Bernabéu.
The Croatian midfielder, now 40, signed a temporary deal with AC Milan after his exit. Yet Madrid still wants him back despite his emotional goodbye just over a year ago.
President Florentino Pérez has suggested Modric would have a say in what position he takes. Reports indicate he'd likely join as sporting director or executive consultant.
