"David Beckham has acted urgently to strengthen Inter Miami's squad. Luka Modric could appear after EURO 2024 to help the team consolidate its ambitions of conquering the MLS, CONCACAF Champions League, Leagues Cup and US Open Cup titles," reported the Spanish newspaper AS .
David Beckham is determined to bring Modric to Inter Miami to strengthen the team.

Inter Miami suffered a shocking 0-6 defeat against Al Nassr during their tour in Saudi Arabia. In this match, Inter Miami's star player Messi only played in the final minutes due to injury. Meanwhile, Al Nassr's Cristiano Ronaldo was absent.
Al Nassr's squad quality remains far superior to Inter Miami's, boasting top-class stars in excellent form such as Laporte, Alex Telles, Brozovic, and goalkeeper David Ospina. On the American side, apart from Messi being on the bench, only Luis Suarez, Sergio Busquets, and Jordi Alba are truly outstanding players.
Inter Miami has played four pre-season friendly matches in preparation for the 2024 season, but so far they haven't won a single game. They have lost three and drawn one.
After the match against Al Nassr, Messi and his teammates will tour Hong Kong on February 4th and then travel to Japan to play Vissel Kobe on February 7th. They will return to the US for another friendly match against Newell's Old Boys (Argentina) on February 15th. Messi and his teammates will play their opening match of the 2024 MLS season against Real Salt Lake at home on February 22nd.

"Inter Miami's squad quality still doesn't meet current demands, despite two notable additions in striker Suarez and defender Nicolas Freire. Inter Miami president David Beckham is working to strengthen the team he co-owns."
The chances of this former star successfully persuading veteran midfielder Modric to join Inter Miami are very high, after the Croatian player decided not to renew his contract with Real Madrid and will leave after EURO 2024. At that time, Modric would go to Inter Miami, as the team has already prepared a slot for an international player by letting Swedish player McVey go to DC United," AS reported.
"In the MLS, each club receives 8 international player slots per season, which can be traded or exchanged. A total of 233 international player slots are distributed among 29 clubs. Some clubs may have more than 8 slots if they acquire them from other clubs," AS revealed.
