If there's just a 20m difference between Real Madrid and Inter then Inter should just pay up. With the right conditions, Modric can play at a World Class level for another 2-3 seasons and that might just be what Inter need to get back again.
Madrid giving away their aging stars, but I think it could be worthwile on long term. They might harm their chances for another CL this year, but they have crazy backup options already in the squad. Asensio and Vinicius for Ronaldo. Kovacic, Isco and Ceballos for Modric, Hernandez for Marcelo etc. They don't necessarily have to buy replacements, they can just promote their bench players and buy a new one for the bench. All they really need is a striker.
Lopetegui has stated they are not getting a striker. Benzema first choice with Mayoral for backup.
Don’t think he has. Last I’ve seen for a direct quote was that he’d be happy if nobody came or left the team. The Mayoral as backup was an AS headline.
This the same guy who reported Milan are interested in Benzema? LOL
It was later confirmed Di Marzio was right that Benzema sent intermediaries to negotiate with Milan.

Asensio and Vinicius are nowhere near Ronaldo's level. Vinicius has the potential to be one of the best players in the world but it's too early to tell while Asensio will be a decent/good squad player but he won't be BO material.
