Top 4 swap deals that might happen in the summer transfer window

#1 Luka Modric for Mauro Icardi

Two top-class players. One is a galactico and the other is a leader of young blood. What if the roles are reversed?

Now we are talking. Galacticos. Don't you love Real Madrid for this reason? They are a team who likes to bring together the best pieces in order to form a super team. We have witnessed Raul, Roberto Carlos, Beckham, and Ronaldo Nazario at the club, all at the same time. Then we had Ramos, Varane, Ronaldo, Kroos, and Modric together. If the rumors are correct, then Zinedine Zidane is looking for a massive overhaul in the summer.

There are strikers and wingers along with midfielders in the list of Madrid's transfer targets. Even though Madrid have the signing of Rodrygo sealed from the Brazilian league, they are still not out of pursuit for a striker. Possibly because Benzema is 31 years old, and the backup who is arriving is just 18. Madrid needs a lethal finisher in front of goal because finishing is more than an issue for them. Rodrygo can play on the wings as well, he can adapt. Zidane might love a striker and maybe an option to play two strikers as well.

Inter have more than one issue to settle. Their center back Skriniar might leave for greener pastures, Ivan Perisic might be gone, Radja Naingollan is long gone. Coming to the front line, Lautaro Martinez is now the man up front for Inter as Mauro Icardi is stripped of the captaincy and also ample playing time. Inter has got some voids to fill, mainly a leader on the pitch.

What this deal offers for both sides is a really good prospect. Icardi is not having fun at Inter and the Nerazzurri would let him go rather than pay for his purse. He settles the finishing issues, the attacking pivot for Madrid up front is settled, and the goal tally of Ronaldo is also settled to a certain degree. This allows Madrid to use their money on the other spots that they want to cover.

For Inter, Luka Modric's arrival at this time can offer a thing or two. He can play at the highest level and he can be handed the captain's armband. If Inter wants, they can try to build a young core around him and there is little doubt that Modric's aura will help the others around him. They can also use their money to buy a center back or forward rather than midfielders as replacements for the ones who leave. This also helps Madrid to let go of Modric without much fuss. They can get younger in the squad as per their demand and also get a really good striker in exchange.
