Inter Miami and Al-Nassr interested in Luka Modrić
According to an exclusive report from Foot Mercato, Luka Modrić (39) had wanted to remain at Real Madrid and turn 40 with the club. However, after an opening discussion with his former teammate and the new head coach of the club, Xabi Alonso, he was dissuaded from his plan as Alonso could not guarantee him playing time. With this in mind, Modrić began searching for a new team. The French outlet writes that his preference would be in the United States for family reasons, and Inter Miami are reportedly assessing whether they can bring the Croatian international to the club. Al-Nassr represent another option, and they have made an offer to the player. Modrić had reportedly been in discussions with Cristiano Ronaldo (40), who had presented the Saudi Arabian project, although the Portuguese international has hinted that his time has come to an end at the club. Al-Ettifaq are also thought to be in the running, while Brazilian teams are monitoring Modrić's situation, with the league keen to attract high-profile names. GFFN | Nick Hartland

Real Madrid Offers No. 10 Shirt to French Star Mbappé
Madrid – SABA: Spanish media have reported that Real Madrid has offered French forward Kylian Mbappé the iconic No. 10 shirt for the upcoming season. According to the program El Chiringuito, the Spanish club proposed that Mbappé wear the jersey previously donned by Croatian legend Luka Modrić, following the veteran midfielder's departure from the team. Mbappé initially began his journey with Real Madrid wearing the No. 9 shirt, as his preferred number 7 was already taken by Brazilian star Vinícius Júnior. Now, the No. 10—once worn by Modrić—will be handed to the French striker. The No. 10 shirt carries a prestigious legacy at Real Madrid, having been worn by legendary players such as Mesut Özil, Portuguese icon Luís Figo, Clarence Seedorf, and most recently, Luka Modrić. It's worth noting that Mbappé also wears the No. 10 for the French national team and considers it his favorite number, alongside the No. 7, which he famously wore at Paris Saint-Germain in honor of his idol Cristiano Ronaldo.
