Luka Modric returns to Real Madrid training amid Inter transfer rumours

Luka Modric returned to training at Real Madrid on Wednesday along with five other World Cup players, against a background of contradictory rumours about his future .
One Spanish sports daily , AS , reported that the midfielder who led Croatia to the World Cup final was subject to a big bid from Inter Milan , while a competing newspaper , Marca said the 32 – year old was about to accept a pay rise from Real and sign a contract extension .

Modric , awarded the Golden Ball as best player at the World Cup, was given a break rather than join Real ’ s pre – season tour of the United States , as were another Croatian World Cup finalist , Mateo Kovacic , who was reported to have travelled to London to join Chelsea , French World Cup winner Raphael Varane and Brazilian duo Marcelo and Casemiro.

On Wednesday , as the Real first team flew back to Madrid after beating Roma in New Jersey on Tuesday night , the club said the World Cup players were in training .

“ The Croatian midfielder joined Marcelo , Varane , Casemiro and Kovacic , who did individual work in the gym . The four players trained with nine players from the under – 18 s , ” Real Madrid said on their web site .

Among the conflicting reports , Marca said that Modric , who joined Real in 2012 , “ did not consider his current salary matched the level of his performances ” and that the player , who turns 33 early in September , was about to sign the best contract of his career .

AS said Modric , who has not commented publicly , “ foresaw joining Inter . ” Marca said “ he would stay at Madrid ” because “ the club intended to increase his salary . ”
