Luka Modric Agent Lauds Inter Milan & Croatia Midfielder: “Has Talent & Character” | OneFootball

Luka Modric’s agent has praised Inter Milan starlet Petar Sucic for his exceptional talent and potential to become one of the best midfielders in the world.

Speaking to Tuttomercatoweb via FCInterNews, Marko Naletilic outlined his lofty expectations for the 21-year-old.

Inter forked out around €15 million to sign Petar Sucic from Dinamo Zagreb last summer.

Despite a relatively small sample, it already feels like a bargain.

Indeed, the skilled midfielder impressed on his Serie A debut against Torino.

In addition to providing an assist to Marcus Thuram, he showcased superb skills and maturity beyond his age.

Though his performance dwindled against Udinese, there’s no doubt that Sucic is a generational talent.

Furthermore, he is already an established member of Croatia’s national team.

Croatia coach Zlatko Dalic has shown great faith in Sucic during the current FIFA World Cup qualifying campaign.

Indeed, he has started almost every game so far.

Meanwhile, many view him as Modric’s long-term heir at the national team.

Widely considered one of Croatia’s finest talents, Sucic looks destined for stardom.

He is the latest Croatian star to sign for Inter after Marcelo Brozovic and Mateo Kovacic, among others.

On the other hand, his international colleague, Luka Modric, has already become a key figure for AC Milan.

However, the 40-year-old has entered the final chapter of what has been a truly remarkable career.

Croatia will have a huge gap to fill once Modric hangs up his boots, with many expecting Sucic to take over.

One of them is Modric’s agent, Marko Naletilic.

“Sucic will absolutely be a cornerstone for both Inter and the Croatian national team,” he said.

“He is a combination of talent, physical aptitude, and above all, character. If he stays fit, he will certainly reach world-class levels.”
