Inter given fresh hope in pursuit of Modric
In addition to that, Real Madrid have begun talks to sign Tottenham's Christian Eriksen who is regarded as Modric's heir at the Santiago Bernabeu. Talks to sign the Croat will be resumed in the summer.
Meantime the Nerazzurri are close to securing the services of Diego Godin. The Uruguay International will join Inter as a free agent at the end of the season.
Godin is a long-time target of Beppe Marotta who tried to sign the experienced center-back last year when he was in charge of Juventus.
Inter fans dream of welcoming both Godin and Modric next summer to end Juventus' winning reign in Serie A.
