Although it hurts all Real Madrid fans, the reality is that this may be one of Luka Modric's last seasons at Real Madrid. The Croatian is already old and is part of the process of generational change that coach Carlo Ancelotti is carrying out. So much so, that he is barely adding minutes so far this season.

Despite this, it is known that one of the clubs that is interested in hiring him is Inter Miami, a club that has become one of the cheerleaders for soccer in the United States. On the other side, Lionel Messi would be waiting for the Real Madrid legend, who has even already met David Beckham and has started a kind of conversation about his future. One of the things that must be closed to make the transfer effective is the issue of salary.

Despite spending more time on the bench than playing, Luka Modric is one of the footballers who earns the most money at Real Madrid. According to the Capology site, the merengue ten earns approximately 22 million euros per season, which per month becomes a figure close to 430 thousand euros. In fact, he is among the five best-paid footballers on the team given his seniority, although his reality in the pink team would change considerably.

It happens that the American league establishes a salary cap for the clubs and allows each of them the possibility of having only three players called “franchise” outside of that regulation. In the pink club, Lionel Messi, Sergio Busquets and Josef Martínez are under that name, so Luka Modric would earn the maximum salary allowed: less than two million annually.

Luka Modric's other option

Aware of their situation, another of the clubs that would offer for Modric starting next January is his beloved Dinamo Zagreb. The president of the institution and all the fans are excited that their footballer can take the last steps in his country and, even better, that he can arrive free next June. In this case, his salary would be quite similar to what he would earn at Inter Miami. Will he leave Real Madrid?
