Real Madrid frontrunners to sign Spurs ace
Luka Modric is on the verge of making a move to Real Madrid and will switch to the Santiago Bernabeu after Euro 2012, according to The Daily Mail.
With Tottenham missing out on Champions League football for next term, the White Hart Lane side are thought to have a battle on their hands to hold onto their main players, with the Croatia international being scouted by some of Europe’s biggest teams.
Despite reports in the press indicating that Manchester United are leading the race to sign the diminutive midfielder, Madrid may well now be the team closest to sealing a deal for the playmaker.
Modric’s former team-mate at international level Mate Bilic has stated that the player wants to make a move to Spain, and this could happen in the near future.
“I’m very good friends with Modric,” said the Sporting Gijon striker.
“He wants to play in the Spanish league. He loves the Premier League but he wants to play in Spain. He’s very close to agreeing a move.”
Daniel Levy would not let Modric leave Spurs to join Chelsea last summer, and as yet Tottenham’s approach to the speculation has not been indicated.

Let him go to Spain, better that then coming back to WHL with someone like United or Chelsea. Get the bloody best price we can and bring top class replacements in with the money. Thank you Luka, the King is dead, long live the King

I just love the way players and friends etc.decide what and where they will be playing next season.Has anyone discussed this with Mr.Levy?????Last season he told Modric he can sit in the stands and watch if he did not want to play.All we hear about is what Modric and friends are saying but one thing is for sure,IT IS NOT THEIR DECISION.It is to late now but if i was Modric the first person i would of discussed this with would be Levy and not friends.He may still make another fool of himself.
