Real Madrid midfielder Luka Modric would only move back to the Premier League if it were to sign for Manchester United, it has been reported.
The Daily Mirror claimed Los Blancos offered the former Tottenham Hotspur player to his former club as part of the deal to take Gareth Bale to the Santiago Bernabeu, but Modric refused.
According to the paper, the Croatia international is awaiting an offer from David Moyes, Manchester United’s new boss, to become the Red Devils’ star signing of the summer.
Modric is believed to be keen on a move to Old Trafford following a season of mixed fortunes in the Spanish capital. At the halfway point of last season, he was voted La Liga’s worst signing following his 38 million euro move last August. Since the turn of the year though his form has picked up and he even scored a stunning goal to knock Manchester United out of the Champions League.
Any transfer to United could be complicated though as Carlo Ancelotti is a fan of Modric having watched him many times when he was manager of Chelsea. He sees the playmaker as an important part of his squad as he aims to wrestle the title back of Barcelona and challenge for the Champions League.
Modric would set Manchester alive with euphoria! We only want you, Luka!
