The Sevilla midfielder claimed that his international colleague will be one of the best players in Spanish Primera Division at the completion of his transfer to Real Madrid.
Jose Mourinho is looking to trim his Real Madrid squad. The Spanish club have already off-loaded four players from their books, with Kaka and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Nuri-Sahin-c28251 set to follow.
The Special One is now closing in on the acquisition of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Luka-Modric-c22857 from Tottenham Hotspur to complete his roster for the coming Spanish top flight football campaign.
Croatian footballer, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ivan-Rakitic-c17333, shared his thoughts on the subject, backing his compatriot to shine in the Iberian Peninsula. Rakitic currently finds himself on Sevilla dressing room and used his knowledge about the league to claim that Modric will be
a star at any club he joins.
The former Schalke man stated that the pint-sized midfielder has enough quality to depose the best players from their positions in the starting player, before going on to add that Modric is the best player he has ever played with.
Continuing with his songs of praise, Rakitic backed his compatriot to succeed under the tautology of Jose Mourinho. He stated that such an engagement will be in the favour of both interested parties.
The Sevilla player acknowledged the fears of fans that the deal to bring Modric to the Bernabeu is more complicated than it has been stated in the news, but believes all stakeholders will resolve the matter sooner rather than later.
"As a player, he's good enough to play for any team, including Real Madrid," the Sevilla midfielder was quoted on Madrid based Spanish sports daily, MARCA. "He's one of the best I've ever played with.”
"I'm convinced he has more than what it takes to play at the Santiago Bernabeu, although from what I've read and seen lately the situation is a little complicated.”
"I hope things pan out the way he wants and if Real Madrid manage to sign Luka, I have no doubt it'll be a match made in heaven."
"He can adapt perfectly well to what Mourinho asks of him because he's very hard-working and a really good lad."
