Lionel Messi is 'pushing for Inter Miami to sign Luka Modric' and 'approached co-owner David Beckham about a January swoop' as the veteran midfielder struggles for minutes at Real Madrid

Lionel Messi thinks Inter Miami should make a move for Real Madrid icon Luka Modric during the next transfer window.

Modric has fallen down the pecking order at Real Madrid, with Carlo Ancelotti starting him on the bench for four out of six LaLiga fixtures this season.

The midfielder has vowed to work hard to win back his place in the starting XI, but opportunities are hard to come by for the 38-year-old given the depth in squad.

Therefore, Messi believes it would be mutually beneficial for Inter Miami to purchase Modric during the January transfer window.
