Modric in talks with Serie A giants after Ronaldo departure

After Cristiano Ronaldo’s mega move to Juventus, now his Real Madrid teammate Luka Modric is also in talks with Serie A giants for a possible transfer.

According to Sky news Italy, Inter Milan have made contact with Real Madrid midfielder agents over a move.

Modric is understood to be open to the move after initial discussions took place with the midfielder's representatives.

The 32-year-old played in 43 games for Spanish giants last season and played a key role in Real’s third straight Champions League title. He also captained his country to the World Cup final in Russia, winning the Golden Ball award for best player.

Inter, who are actively pursuing midfield targets as a priority, will compete in the Champions League for the first time in six years this season after a final day victory over Lazio.

The Serie A club, managed by Luciano Spalletti, are believed to have lined up Bayern Munich's Arturo Vidal if they cannot sign Modric.

Modric's countrymen Marcelo Brozovic, Ivan Perisic and Sime Vrsaljko, who joined from Atletico Madrid on Tuesday, are already at the San Siro.
