Robert Jarni: "Modric can make Madrid even better"

"It is difficult to know how he will react when he arrives," the former Croatia international told AS. "We must see where he is going to play and what Mourinho thinks of him."

"Whether he will be a starter or not, or if he [Mourinho] will want to rotate him. All that must be taken into account because Madrid have quality players."

"What I will say is that his way of playing and seeing football matches ties in well with Madrid and the Spanish League."

"He's a very humble guy, with his feet on the ground and, as a player, he has a lot of quality. Luka has the profile of a Madrid player. I think he has an extraordinary quality. "

"If confirmed, his move will raise the level of team play. It seems a wise move on the part of Madrid."

"There are several options. You can play him with Xabi Alonso or Sami Khedira. If Mourinho plays with a 4-2-3-1, he can be the playmaker.

"In addition, he spent two years playing down the left-hand side with the national team. But I have to confess that he did not have as much of an impact as in midfield."
