Lionel Messi seeks to improve his team and this player will definitely do it.

Inter Miami was the team that was best strengthened in the MLS with the additions of players like Lionel Messi, Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba. These signings, added to the hiring of Gerardo Martino as technical director, allowed the franchise to obtain the first title in its history in the Leagues Cup and everything was rosy. However, Leo was unexpectedly injured and the Herons' shortcomings were once again exposed.

In this context, reinforcements for Inter in 2024 have already begun to sound and, although old wishes such as that of Luis Suárez were resumed, now from Europe they point out that Messi asked for a particular player to land in Florida. According to Cadena SER, the man from Rosario would have asked David Beckham to sign Luka Modric. The Croatian had recently been seen with David Beckham in a private meeting, but now the Spanish media indicates that everything would have been orchestrated by La Pulga.

It is worth remembering that Modric has lost his place at Real Madrid and is no longer that undisputed starter. For this reason, it is not unreasonable to imagine that the Croatian could leave the White House at the end of the year, especially taking into account that his contract is about to end. Thus, Inter would have a luxury midfield made up of Busquets and Lukita, two of the best midfielders not only of the time, but also in the history of world football.

Suárez and Modric, two stars for a franchise player spot

If the signing is completed, the board will be faced with a difficult situation. And the MLS only allows three franchise players per team. This means that clubs can pay three salaries above the salary cap.

Currently the three franchises are Messi, Busquets and Josef Martinez. It is a fact that the Venezuelan will be stripped of that category, but in January the team should choose between Luis Suárez and Modric to define who gets the place. Whoever signs in a normal condition would have a salary that could not exceed 2 million euros, just as happens to Jordi Alba.
