Real Madrid are threatening to sue Inter over their pursuit of midfielder Luka Modric as they believe a deal would see the Nerazzurri violate UEFA’s Financial Fair Play rules, according to Spanish newspaper El Mundo.

Modric is known to be keen on a move to Inter after receiving a monstrous offer from club’s owners Suning, which the aforementioned publication report would see him earn €10 million per season in wages for the next six years, with a four-year deal at Inter followed by a further two-year contract at Jiangsu Suning.

However the Croatian’s dream of moving to Italy could be jeopardised if Real Madrid decide to pursue legal action against Inter, which would be founded upon the Spanish club’s conviction that the Nerazzurri would be breaking Financial Fair Play regulations.

Inter’s offer to Real Madrid – a loan worth €15 million followed by an option to buy for a further €20 million – is described by the paper as ‘ridiculous’, and would supposedly be funded by sponsorship deals in a manner that UEFA have already condemned, following recent transfer deals carried out by Paris Saint-Germain.

Modric’s agents are pushing for a move to Inter but it remains to be seen whether Madrid’s anger could lead to any concrete problems for Inter in getting the deal done.
