Inter reportedly have a deal in place with Luka Modric, but they need Real Madrid to respect a gentleman’s agreement to let him leave.
It was reported earlier today that a meeting between the player and President Florentino Perez has been delayed, though director Angel Sanchez has made it clear Modric won’t be allowed to go unless the Nerazzurri pay the €750m release clause.
According to this morning’s Gazzetta dello Sport, there is already the basis of an agreement between Inter and Modric.
AS is in agreement, stating that the Beneamata are offering €10m per season, with the understanding he’ll get a big contract with Jiangsu Suning when he leaves.
That transfer would be easy to arrange, as both the Chinese and Italian club are owned by Suning Group.
Currently Modric earns around €6.5m per season, so they only way for Los Merengues to keep him is to significantly boost his salary.
Sky believes that the meeting with Perez will take place tomorrow, and Modric will urge the President to hold to a gentleman’s agreement to let him leave if he wants to.
Meanwhile, Tuttomercatoweb reports that Madrid are scouting around for potential replacements, with Sergej Milinkovic-Savic of Lazio and Tottenham Hotspur’s Christian Eriksen potential candidates.

Getting Modric will make things interesting in Serie A. It is time for him to challenge for Serie A titles with Ronaldo as rival.

i think that's Perez plan.. Modric performed superbly last season and played almost every match for RM...he will b happy to stay at Madrid but Perez is forcing for a move for older players... first Ronaldo and now Modric and then it will be b Marcelo,Navas,Bale .. he only needs money to reinvest to young superstars... Modric will replaced by Cristian Erikson and Bale by Mbappe... He never gonna give players a farewell..and let them leave for free

We lost our best player in history, we lost our 3peat coach, Modric wants to leave, countless Marcelo joining Ronaldo rumors, we signed a GK we didn’t need, James didn’t return, Kovacic left, we‘re selling Alex Hunter jerseys and are now linked with Thiago. Shit summer.
