Inter Miami plotting 2024 move for Real Madrid's Luka Modric?

The MLS side have added a number of high-profile names to their squad in recent months, including World Cup winner Lionel Messi.

Argentina international Messi was followed to Miami by his former Barcelona teammates Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba.

Those three new additions have already made a significant impact, helping the club win the Leagues Cup last month.

Having enjoyed success since the arrival of Messi and co, Inter Miami appear to be targeting another marquee signing.

According to Croatian Newspaper The Dubrovnik Times, Inter Miami co-owner David Beckham is keen to bring Modric to the MLS franchise.

While Beckham wants to sign the Ballon d'Or winner, it is currently unclear if Inter Miami will have enough space in their salary cap to sign Modric.

Inter Miami are reportedly looking to recruit Luis Suarez in the winter, and the Uruguayan would take up significant room in the salary cap.

There is also a question as to whether Modric would be willing to leave European football to complete a move to MLS.

With Modric under contract until June 2024, there is a possibility that he could leave Real Madrid on a free transfer at the end of the season.

The Croatia international is just six games away from making 500 appearances for the club, but he has struggled for starting opportunities in the opening stages of the new season.

Although he played 81 minutes in Wednesday's Champions League win over Union Berlin, Modric has featured from the bench in four of Real Madrid's opening five La Liga matches.

The 38-year-old is currently competing with a number of players for a place in the Real Madrid midfield, including Toni Kroos, Aurelien Tchouameni, Federico Valverde, Jude Bellingham and Eduardo Camavinga.

Carlo Ancelotti will have to decide whether to keep Modric in the starting lineup for the derby clash with Atletico Madrid on Sunday evening.
