'The president has already given an answer, I don't have much else to add,' Lopetegui said on Sunday. 'Modric's an extraordinary player, we await him with open arms. I talked to him after his excellent World Cup and we'll see if he can play on August 15 (against Atletico Madrid in the European Super Cup), our first big objective of the season.'I told him he was a player I'm passionate about, I love him and he knows it. He'll be happy with the proposal he receives here.'He'll be happy to play football, like he already was, at Real Madrid. Luka is a Madrid player and will continue to be, I have no doubt. We've enjoyed having him and we'll continue to do so.' Real will be even more keen to ensure Modric stays put this summer as midfielder Mateo Kovacic closes in on a loan move to Chelsea as part of the deal which will see Thibaut Courtois complete a £35m switch to the Bernabeu.
