Madrid look set to beat Chelsea and Manchester United in the race to sign Modric this summer and are believed to be edging closer to agreeing a fee with Spurs for the 26-year-old.
Modric is already believed to have agreed personal terms and will sign four-year deal with the Spanish giants subject to a price being agreed and him passing a medical.
And Mamic has revealed that the Croatia international, who spent five years at the club before moving to White Hart Lane, is constantly speaking to the Los Blancos boss.
"Luka [Modric] is a close friend of mine," Mamic told Sportske Novosti.
"I can state with reliability that Mourinho has spent the last month speaking to him over a move to the Spanish capital.
"I've heard the signing will be done, and am very happy that a person and a player like Modric can project the name of Dinamo and Croatia at the world's most famous club, which is Real Madrid."
Madrid are expected to pay around £35m for Modric.
