JAKARTA - Inter Miami, the United States Major League Soccer (MLS) club, has been linked to 38-year-old, Luka Modric. The Real Madrid midfielder is facing an uncertain future at the Santiago Bernabeu.

The 2018 Ballon d'Or winner has won legendary status at Real Madrid for 11 years with the club. He scored 37 goals and provided 77 assists in 495 appearances. The Croatian midfielder even won 23 trophies, including three La Liga titles and five Champions Leagues.

However, Modric's contract in the Spanish capital will expire in June 2024. He has dropped to lower ranks in the squad under manager Carlo Ancelotti this season. He has only appeared in three of the seven matches in all competitions.

Modric is now under Toni Kroos, Aurelien Tchouameni, Eduardo Camavinga, Federico Valverde, and Jude Bellingham, who have performed outstanding with Los Blancos after joining the club this summer.

According to Sky Sports Deutschland reporter Florian Plettenberg, Inter Miami is interested in signing Modric and realizes that the Croatian will leave Real Madrid the following summer if he fails to extend his contract.

However, Modric reportedly has no immediate plans to regulate his future as he is fully focused on efforts to find a regular place at Real Madrid under Ancelotti.

Even so, it is reported that Messi wants Herons to increase their efforts to recruit Modric in the next transfer window.

Mijatovic, a former Real Madrid player who spent three years with the club between 1996 and 1999, said Modric "has accepted an offer from the United States." Even Messi personally expressed his desire for Inter Miami to sign the Croatian player.

Mijatovic, 54, also claims that Modric has held a face-to-face meeting with former Real Madrid player David Beckham to discuss a possible move to the MLS club.

"Modric has received offers from the United States, from many teams, and from one team there. He also has an offer from Saudi Arabia, but he wants to stay in Madrid," Mijatovic said in an interview for Cadena SER.

"Personally, Messi is also interested in the possibility. A few days ago, in Croatia, Modric met Beckham at a restaurant," he added.

Modric is expected to be included in the Real Madrid squad as they travel to Italy to face Napoli in the Champions League group stage on Tuesday night, October 3.
