Inter Miami boss David Beckham spotted with Luka Modric on family holiday to Croatia sparking frenzy among fans
DAVID BECKHAM turned a tiny holiday resort for his family into Fantasy Island for fans – after he was spotted with Real Madrid legend Luka Modric.
Supporters are now dreaming of Inter Miami supremo Becks landing a signing almost as incredible as Lionel Messi‘s arrival.

The ex-England skipper’s wife Victoria posted loved-up snaps from Sipan, off the coast of Modric‘s native Croatia.
But for once fans seemed more interested in transfer gossip than talk about one of sport’s most famous couples.
That’s because Beckham was pictured chatting earnestly with Real Madrid maestro Modric as the duo sat in their swim shorts on sun-loungers.
The former Manchester United midfielder, 48, lent over and appeared to be pressing home a point, whereas the 37-year-old gazed away into the distance.
But despite the contrasting expressions, there was ONE verdict on social media: Becks wants the midfield icon to join 36-year-old seven-time Ballon Dd’Or winner Messi at Miami.
One observer said: “He thinks Modric will join the Burger league.”
Another said: “He’s trying to convince him to join Inter Miami.”
Modric’s range of supreme creative talents seem barely to have dulled.

But he was just a second-half sub as one of his long-term successors, Jude Bellingham, sunk Celta Vigo in LaLiga last Friday.
So opinion was split just as widely as defences are by Modric’s passing over the likelihood of him moving to the MLS any time soon.
One fan said of former Beckham: “He tryna get him to Miami but Modric is not interested to play with Messi.”
That also might be a reference to ex-PSG attacker Messi spending 18 years at Real’s fiercest rivals Barcelona.
Meanwhile, ex-Spice girl Victoria concentrated on the glorious scenery on the island off Dubrovnik, which has only around 410 permanent residents.
Alongside a picture of her kissing husband David, she wrote: “Family time is everything. Happy weekend, kisses from us all xxxx I love u.”
With Becks topless in the sunset snap, one of Victoria’s 31.3million followers responded: “Thanks Victoria… from the whole female population.”
