Real Madrid midfielder Luka Modric could be set to depart the La Liga champions this summer, with Inter being linked with a move for him.

As reported in today’s newspaper edition of La Gazzetta dello Sport, the 37-year-old is due to become a free agent in the summer as his contract at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu expires, and he is not thought to be any closer to penning a renewal.

Modric has not received a proposal from Real Madrid yet and it is reported that the Spanish club would insist on him retiring from international football if he were to remain with them, or at the very least cut back on representing Croatia so frequently.

Inter have been linked with Modric in the past and it is thought that they could be contenders for his signature if he does leave Real Madrid.

Elsewhere, fellow target Evan Ndicka is set to move on from Eintract Frankfurt and Inter will face significant competition for his signature, after failing to land him in January.

The Nerazzurri must now beat Roma, Juventus, and Napoli in Serie A to the centre-back, as well as Sevilla and clubs in the Premier League.
