Real Madrid have officially filed a complaint to FIFA for Inter Milian’s illegal approach of their midfielder Luka Modric.
Inter Milan were desperately looking to sign Luka Modric.
Just after the World Cup, Inter Milan were desperately looking sign the midfielder and he was heavily linked with the Italian side. But it all came to an end when Real Madrid president Florentino Perez that Modric has a €750 million release clause in his contract, which still has two years left to run.
However, Real Madrid have reported Serie A side Inter over an alleged approach to the player without their consent.
When asked about Modric’s situation, Real Madrid’s director of institutional relations, Emilio Butragueno said:
“There is no issue with Modric, and he couldn’t be happier to continue with us.”
Meanwhile, the president of La Liga said Inter as he bemoaned the increase in billionaire-backed foreign clubs poaching the league’s star players.
Tebas told ABC:
“What we have to do is ask ourselves why this is happening. It will be necessary to ask why there are [clubs funded by the governments] that are inflating the market. Things do not just happen because of management mistakes, which I do not think is the case, but because in other places happen things that should not happen.”
“I am speaking about PSG, but also about Juventus, with the signing of Cristiano Ronaldo, or to these offers from Inter Milan, who have no money to sign players and then offer Modric a huge sum of money to collect in I do not know where.”
After spending a long vacation, Modric couldn’t train much before the UEFA Super Cup final against Atletico Madrid. As a result, he had to start the match off the bench. He came onto the pitch in the second half. But that couldn’t save Real Madrid from their embarrassing 4-2 defeat.
