There has been plenty of speculation to suggest that the Ballon d’Or-winning midfielder is exploring his options after seeing limited game time with the Blancos in 2023-24. He is only under contract until next summer, meaning that an <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/link-up-with-lionel-messi-luka-modric-linked-with-move-to-join-world-cup-winner-at-inter-miami/blt561be90c122d3ea4" target="_blank">early exit could be negotiated in January</a>.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Messi – who has seven Ballons d'Or to his name – is said to be <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/lionel-messi-wants-ballon-d-or-winner-inter-miami-david-beckham-met-real-madrid-luka-modric/bltf691390b010a9f41" target="_blank">keen on seeing Modric become the latest marquee addition at Inter Miami</a>. The Florida-based outfit, who are <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/david-beckham-explains-why-inter-miami-signed-lionel-messi-transfer-million-messages/blt2b5678fd0dc2cb12 " target="_blank">co-owned by former 'Galactico' David Beckham</a>, have already drafted in ex-Barcelona stars Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

There may be the option for Modric to be targeted as a free agent at the start of 2024, but Ancelotti insists the 38-year-old Croatian playmaker is not pushing for a move. The Blancos boss has said when responding to the transfer rumours: “I don’t think he's raising it (leaving in January). We think he’s very important and he knows it too. He doesn’t have that thought and we’re happy with him.”

WHAT THEY SAID

Modric moved to Madrid from Premier League side Tottenham in 2012 and has taken in 496 appearances for the Liga giants – helping them to three domestic titles and five Champions League crowns, while also being named the best player on the planet in 2018.
