Modric, 34, has racked up an impressive four Champions League titles and a La Liga winners medal during his eight seasons in the Spanish capital.
According to Mundo Deportivo, Modric could be tempted with a new challenge as he has the chance to decide his future.
Beckham is hoping to make Modric his first major signing as they begin their MLS story.
Inter Miami lost their first game, a 1-0 defeat to Los Angeles with former Arsenal forward Carlos Vela scoring an audacious chip.
If Modric does decide to leave, the Spanish giants plan to use Martin Odegaard, who is currently on loan at Real Sociedad, as his replacement.
Odegaard helped knock out his parent club out of the Copa del Rey, scoring in a 4-3 win at the Bernabeu.
The Norweigan has been a key figure for Sociedad as they sit sixth, two points off the top four in La Liga.
Modric has only started 13 league games for Zinedine Zidane’s side as he weighs up his options.
Modric and his Madrid teammates are currently top of the league, one point ahead of Barcelona after winning El Clasico 2-0 last week.
It would be Madrid’s first La Liga title since 2017 if they can maintain their lead for the last 12 games of the season.
Zidane continues to be under pressure after their first-leg defeat to Manchester City in the Champions League last-16 last week with the club keeping an eye on free agent Mauricio Pochettino.
