After Modric’s World Cup participation concluded with Croatia’s defeat to France in the final, the Golden Ball winner became a surprise subject of speculation, with Inter reportedly making a move to bring him to San Siro.

Inter have not made their interest a secret in recent weeks and some reports have even suggested Modric was willing to listen to offers from the Serie A side.

Madrid have insisted throughout that Modric will not be leaving unless someone pays his huge €750million release clause, and Spalletti seems to have accepted defeat in the pursuit.

“You will have to ask the sporting director about that,” Spalletti – who signed a new contract on Tuesday – told Sky Sport Italia.

“I will not say anything more with regards to the transfer market. I’m already very happy with what I have in my squad. These players are the ones I would want to have.

“I’m in the changing room with people I would have chosen even if I was playing on a computer game.”
