Inside Spain is a weekly instalment brought to you by Football España, providing an insight into all of the major stories coming out of the rich and intense climes of La Liga and beyond.

It could be a painful summer for fans of Spanish football’s beloved (and hated) legends. A number of veterans could be on their way out of La Liga this summer, starting with Luka Modric.
