Lionel Messi is reportedly keen on having Luka Modric as his teammate at Inter Miami, and it’s been reported that David Beckham has already had a meeting with the Real Madrid midfielder.
Speculation suggests that the experienced Croatian playmaker Modric is being considered as the next big signing for DRV PNK Stadium.
Modric has seen limited playing time for Real Madrid this season, with only 205 minutes in La Liga.
Modric’s contract is set to expire at the end of the 2023–24 season, and there have been discussions about a potential move in January.
Despite being 38 years old, former Real Madrid star Pedja Mijatovic claims that Inter Miami is pursuing a deal based on advice from Messi.
Messi, a seven-time Ballon d’Or winner, is reportedly interested in having another Golden Ball recipient as his teammate in Florida.
Mijatovic mentioned that Modric has received offers from several U.S. teams, including Inter Miami.
He also mentioned a meeting between Modric and Beckham in Croatia, where they had a meal.
Beckham, with his strong ties to Madrid from his playing career, is now a co-owner at Inter Miami.
He has witnessed Messi’s historic success in the League Cup in Miami since the Argentine’s move to the United States.
Additionally, there is still hope that Messi can lead the team to the playoffs in the MLS Eastern Conference.
