Real Madrid president Florentino Perez is prepared to sell Luka Modric this summer and replace him with Mateo Kovacic, according to Okdiario’s chief pundit Eduardo Inda.
He said on El Chiringuito: "Modric was renewed until 2021 as a way of protection. But Real Madrid does not rule out that he leaves if he asks for it at the end of the season.
"In that case, the player who is wanted by (Zinedine) Zidane to replace Modric is (Mateo) Kovacic."
Kovacic is currently on loan at Chelsea.
