After completing the signing of Sime Vrsaljko for the flank, Inter are now concentrated on a new priority for the transfer market: a midfielder. The dream target on the club's wish list is Real Madrid's Luka Modric. Modric was among the best performing players at this year's World Cup, and is one of the best in the world in the midfield. The operation would be a complicated one, without a doubt, but Inter intend to make a serious effort until the close of the transfer window.
There have already been initial contacts made with Modric's agents, ever slightly widening the narrow possibility that the transfer materializes. The fact that Inter will now field three of Modric's Croatian countrymen, with Vrsaljko, Brozovic, and Perisic, is also a point to consider. At the World Cup in fact, the players discussed their experiences with their clubs.
In Inter's pursuit for Vidal, they have not yet pushed for a final completion to the agreement, especially as they believe that they can obtain him from Bayern on more favorable terms, €18/19 million for a loan with purchase option.
After initial talks with Modric's agents have led to a glimmer of optimism for Inter successfully pulling off a major addition to the squad, the nerazzurri are preparing to make an attempt to open up concrete negotiations to move a deal forward. In the next few hours or days, it should become clear whether the deal is only a fantasy, and Inter would proceed to close the deal for Vidal.
