On the other hand, Beckham’s side would likely need more signings to maintain their improved performance and recent success this season. The Herons had already dipped into their resources to sign the former Barcelona teammates and other players in their squad.
On account of his experience, the Croatian midfielder would be a significant asset for Inter Miami, as his role at Real Madrid has been reduced this season.
What’s next for Luka Modric this season?
Luka Modric made his return to action for Real Madrid in their 1-0 win over Celta Vigo on Saturday, coming on as a substitute in the 63rd minute. The former Tottenham midfielder has so far played second fiddle to Fede Valverde and Eduardo Camavinga this season.
Carlo Ancelotti hinted that he would limit the veteran player’s game time before Real Madrid’s campaign intensifies with the Champions League commencing next month.

Meanwhile, the 2018 World Cup runner-up turned down a lucrative offer from the Saudi Arabian side in this transfer window, even though Modric had not started a single game for Los Blancos after extending his contract for a year this season.
Ultimately, the soccer enthusiasts believe that Inter Miami could be the perfect destination for Modric to continue his illustrious performances with more game time and increased opportunities to shine in the twilight of his career.
