Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has made it clear that Luka Modic’s move away from Real Madrid is impossible by declaring that the Croatian star’s release clause costs €750 million (£670m/$870m).
Inter reportedly are interested in the midfielder, but Perez’s response leaves Inter likely to come away empty-handed from their attempts to sign the midfielders.
"The only possibility that Modric leaves is by paying €750 million," Perez told reporters.
The 32-year-old earned him the World Cup’s Golden Ball for most outstanding performer.
