According to reports in the United Kingdom, Luka Modric has told his friends that he is disappointed with his current employers. Tottenham had apparently told Modric that he could leave this summer after they rejected offers from London rivals ‘Chelsea’ before the 2011-12 season.
Real Madrid Manager Jose Mourinho has tried personally to take control of a reported deal for the Croatian International and has spoken with the Tottenham Chairman to see if he can move the deal forward.
Ideally, Mourinho would like Modric to be a Real Madrid player in time to face LA Galaxy in the USA next week.
Real Madrid have informed Spurs they will be willing to part with £27m for Modric but Paris Saint Germain are reportedly preparing £40m offer, which would complicate the deal dramatically.
Madrid are keen to sell Brazilian superstar Kaka in order to help generate the funds needed to entice Modric away from London.
Mourinho, who knows Levy (Tottenham Chairman) from his days spent in London with Chelsea, believes his intervention may help give Modric the green light to move to the Bernabeu.
Football fans should keep a close eye on proceedings within the coming weeks...
