Madrid is searching for Modric's heir

There has been plenty of speculation about summer moves for Neymar and Robert Lewandowski. However, a position which Madrid also want to strengthen is in central midfield.

The aforementioned Spanish newspaper has claimed that Florentino Perez will look for an heir to their midfield maestro Luka Modric's crown in this summer's transfer window.

At 32 years old, the Croatia international is starting to pick up more niggly injuries and hasn't been able to orchestrate the midfield as much as he, or the club, would like.

Every time Modric is missing from the starting XI, Madrid suffer. So it is very important that they find someone who has the same vision and tempo as their little Croatian, otherwise their dream of challenging Barcelona again will fall by the waistside.
