Leo Messi wants to turn Inter Miami into a legendary team. He has picked up the phone to contact one of the great idols of the eternal rival: Luka Modric.
The Argentine star has personally communicated with the Croatian star to make him a direct proposal: "Are you coming to Miami with me?" He has talked to him about the advantages of his experience in his American adventure and the group he has formed with his friends from Barça.
Real Madrid Offer Him a Low-Profile Renewal
The relationship between Leo Messi and Luka Modric has always been excellent. There is mutual admiration between them, and nothing would make Messi happier than enjoying Modric as a teammate.
The captain of Inter Miami wants to continue surrounding himself with talent and experience to take the American team to the top. After managing to attract figures like Busquets, Jordi Alba, or Suárez, Messi now aims at a living legend of Real Madrid. A footballer with whom he has shared historic duels for more than a decade.
Modric, whose contract with Real Madrid ends on June 30, still doesn't have his continuity assured. The white club is considering offering him an institutional position or a low-profile renewal.
But the prominence he has lost this season pushes him to seriously consider other options. None is as attractive as playing alongside Messi in a relaxed and competitive environment like the MLS.
David Beckham Is Already Working on the Operation
From Modric's camp, it is acknowledged that the offer is tempting. The Croatian is clear that he will not play for another European club that is not Real Madrid. If he doesn't continue in white, his destination will be international.
There, Inter Miami gains ground, even more so with the Messi factor pressing from within.
A betrayal? A final tribute to touch soccer? The image of Messi and Modric sharing a locker room would be one of the most iconic in the world of soccer.
In Miami, they are already dreaming of it. For now, David Beckham, shareholder and top executive of Inter Miami, is already working to make Messi happy by placing Modric by his side.
