The spectacular signing of Lionel Messi has given David Beckham more confidence in his plans to conquer MLS. Inter Miami has been looking for multiple options to play alongside the Argentine and it seems like they have identified their target in Real Madrid’s Luka Modric. With Los Blancos attempting to fix their striker issues by signing Kylian Mbappe, that deal could potentially land Modric with the Herons.
Meanwhile, an ex-teammate of Lionel Messi is also gearing up to join the Florida-based club in their upcoming MLS endeavor. These world-class signings can change the fortune of the club on the back of a strong 2022-23 season.
Luka Modric signed a one-year contract extension with the La Liga giants in this summer window. The 38-year-old has won many trophies with the club boasting 5 Champions League winner’s medals and winning the Ballon d’Or in 2018. However, the fairytale is nearing its end with a new star’s arrival on the horizon. Real Madrid’s pursuit of Kylian Mbappe will see them having to spend extensively on the wages and signing fee of the French soccer star.
Spanish media, El Chiringuito TV, took to X as they shared reports that Mbappe’s salary will cost the La Liga giants around $37 million. The reports further claim that the French international will be taking over Luka Modric’s No. 10 shirt at the club, making an exit from the Croatian more likely.
It will be an end of an era at the club with both Modric and Toni Kroos set to leave in the coming summer. With a new chapter unlocking at Santiago Bernabeu with the likes of Jude Bellingham, and Vinicius Jr, it will be hard for the Los Blancos fans to bid adieu to the champions who’ve etched their names in the history books.
Meanwhile, a new chapter is being unlocked at Inter Miami as well. With Luka Modric likely to be a free agent after his Los Blancos departure, the Herons are said to have been patiently waiting for his signature. Along with that, David Beckham plans to garner more success with the signing of Lionel Messi’s former Barcelona teammate, Luis Suarez. As per reports, the deal is almost done
