Modric frustrated by lack of Madrid action
Luka Modric is said to be ready to pull the plug on a potential deal to Real Madrid after becoming frustrated at the Spanish side’s lack of action this summer, The Sun report.
The diminutive Croatian playmaker is believed to be eager to find a new club after Tottenham failed to qualify for the Champions League for the second year in a row.
Jose Mourinho’s men are believed to be the frontrunners to sign the attacking midfielder, with Spurs likely to request around £35 million for their star man.
However, with Andre Villas-Boas installed as the side’s new manager and the club eager to keep Modric, a lack of action by the Spanish champions is said to have frustrated the eastern European player, who knows any such move could be protracted due to Spurs’ unwillingness to sell.
Modric is said to have given Madrid a deadline of July 17 to have made their interest in him solid, or will turn his back on a potential move to the Santiago Bernabeu.

Spurs DID qualify for the C/L. A cruel twist of fate, a stupid rule and a goalkeeper (Martin Fulop) who has no professional integrity are just some of the reasons Spurs are not in the C/L
Modric came to Spurs when they weren’t in the C/L so why all of a sudden is it so important for him to be at a club that is ? Chances are that going to the clubs he has been linked to he wont be a first team regular. Careful what you wish for… See Michael Carrick and Dimitar Berbatov as case in points…..

there was nothing special playing in the champions league. the reason this guy wanted to move was money. simplez! I bet he would love sitting on the bench as long as he is paid crazy money.

Aslong as he doesn’t end up at united i’ll be happy, although I do think he does want champions league football, and he will want to play… I definitely agree with the fact that it’s mainly about money, but at the end of the day modern society changed a passion to a job.
