Pizarro transfer done? “The ambition is to win the league in the first year and from the second it’ll become an obligation,” Diego Alonso – manager of new MLS franchise Inter Miami – told Marca. The North American top league will start in a month and the squad of the club founded by David Beckham is still missing the stars to reach their ambitious targets. According to the Spanish sports paper, Inter Miami are currently working on that, however. It is understood that they want to sign Luka Modric (photo) and Edinson Cavani. Market Value As of now, both rank amongst the most valuable players on expiring contracts. Modric is supposed to have signed new deal at Real Madrid until 2021 already, though, with only the official announcement still pending. Why Inter Miami could be interesting for the 2018 Ballon d’Or winner nonetheless? His playing time at Real Madrid becomes less and less and Beckham’s club is said to be willing to double Modric’s estimated €10 million a year wages.The MLS has a salary cap. The squad must be assembled with a budget of around €3.3 million in principle. Three players can earn around €900,000 ($1m), three further players – the Designated Players – are free from restrictions. In addiion to Modric, Cavani could become one of those as well, as Marca report. His transfer from PSG to Atlético Madrid fell through just before the deadline recently, with both clubs arguing since then.Inter Miami: Modric & Cavani not realistic before March - Pizarro 1st top transfer?The problem: Before the first league match against last year’s finalists Los Angeles FC on March 1, neither Modric nor Cavani are expected to be available, as their current teams still compete in multiple competitions.Pellegrini on top Inter Miami's record transfers Click here for overview At least, Mexican international Rodolfo Pizarro is expected to arrive in Miami soon and become the club’s first Designated Player.
