Inter Miami to go big for Luka Modric?

David Beckham and his backroom staff have already added former Atletico Madrid and Valencia player Diego Alonso as their new head coach and are still looking to make a headline signing. MLS allows the signing of three franchise players without worrying about the salary limit. MARCA reported that Inter Miami is prepared to double Modric's salary, in a bid to tempt him for a move in the summer. Luka Modric's contract with Real Madrid expires in 2021. The report, however, adds that the Croatian does not want to leave the Santiago Bernabeu.

It is believed that David Beckham wants Cavani to lead Inter Miami's attack going forward. Inter Miami's MLS debut will be against Los Angeles FC on March 1 (March 2 IST), making the arrival of their targets unlikely by then.
