Niko Kovac would love to see his compatriot Luka Modric at Borussia Dortmund.<\/p>\n
In the Bild podcast “Phrasenm\u00e4her”, the Black and Yellows’ coach answered the question of which former teammate he would like to have in his BVB squad today: “Luka Modric. I was captain when he joined the national team, and you could see straight away what an exceptional footballer he is.”<\/p>\n
A move could even be feasible: the 40-year-old midfielder’s contract with AC Milan expires this summer, meaning he would be available on a free transfer.<\/p>\n
“I knew this question was coming,” Kovac added with a wink. “Luka is 40, and he’s currently injured, so I just hope he recovers soon.”<\/p>\n
