Inter have been dealt a blow for Luka Modric after Real Madrid called up the midfielder for Wednesday’s European Super Cup clash.

Inter had been hopeful of bringing in Modric, but reports in Spain over the weekend seemingly put pay to that, claiming Madrid would tie him down to a new contract. 

The Croat had already made a cameo against Milan in the International Champions Cup, and he will now travel as a member of Los Blancos’ 29-man squad to Tallinn.

Nikola Kalinic is ready to ‘fight’ with Diego Costa and Antoine Griezmann after being unveiled as Atletico Madrid’s new No 9.

Kalinic scored just six goals for Milan last season, but the former Fiorentina striker is confident Atleti’s more physical style of play under Diego Simeone will suit him better.

“I hope to do the maximum for this club and help them achieve all their objectives. We have many of them,” began the Croat.

Atletico Madrid will receive 20 per cent of the fee if Inter sell Sime Vrsaljko in future, according to Spanish paper AS.

The 26-year-old right-back arrived this summer on loan for €6.5m with option to buy at the end of the season for another €17.5m.

However, AS claim today that the deal also includes a 20 per cent cut of the sell-on fee.

It could change based on calculations on the difference between the €17.5m option to buy and what the future sale is worth.
