Luka Modric to switch Real Madrid for MLS? D.C. United interested in the Croatian

Luka Modric is one of the most highly-rated midfielders in the world right now. The Croatian carried his national team to the 2018 FIFA World Cup final and went on to win the Ballon d'Or. Although Luka Modric still remains a key player in Zinedine Zidane's plan, the midfielder can be seen missing games this season. The reason behind the decrease in Luka Modric's playing time can be Federico Valverde's stunning form and emergence. However, Luka Modric has many takers in the market with Major League Soccer (MLS) sides showing interest.
