Luka Modric will return to Real Madrid on Wednesday and will reportedly tell club chiefs that he wants to quit.

The Croatian midfielder, 32, was due back at the club on Monday but will only arrive in the Spanish capital on Tuesday.

He is then due to hold showdown talks with Real president Florentino Perez the following day, according to Gazzetta dello Sport.

Reports in Italy have linked the World Cup runner-up with a move to Inter but Perez said last week that he would not allow the player to leave for less than €750million (£670m).

According to Gazzetta, Inter's current Croatian contingent - Ivan Perisic, Marcelo Brozovic and Sime Vrsaljko - have told the club Modric wants to join them in Milan.

His departure from the Bernabeu would leave Real short in midfield with Mateo Kovacic set to join Chelsea on a season-long loan deal.

Real had made Eden Hazard their top transfer target but have struggled to negotiate with Chelsea.

The Spanish giants are also interested in Hazard's teammate Thibaut Courtois who went AWOL earlier this week in a bid to force through a move.

The goalkeeper will return to west London on Wednesday where he is expected to reiterate his desire to return to Madrid where his two children live.
