Spurs reject Modric transfer request

[Danny 0]

Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp says he has rejected a written transfer request from wantaway midfielder Luka Modric.

 

Modric, 25, expressed his desire to leave Spurs in writing on Wednesday night after weeks of speculation about his future, but Redknapp has moved swiftly to dismiss the request, insisting the club will not be held to ransom over the player.

 

"We know Luka wants to leave," Redknapp said. "Writing it down on a piece of paper doesn't make much difference to our stance."

 

Modric has been the subject of interest from Chelsea, who saw a bid of �£27 million turned down on Monday, though he landed in South Africa on Thursday with his team-mates for Spurs' pre-season tour.

 

Chelsea are expected to return with an offer in the region of �£30 million for the Croatia playmaker, but Spurs are thought to be holding out for an even higher fee.

 

Modric has publicly stated his desire to leave for Stamford Bridge and recently slammed the conduct of Daniel Levy, claiming the Spurs chairman had promised he could leave if the Blues offered a sum in the region of �£25 million.

 

A nice messy affair this one. Modric is better than Spurs quite honestly, and knows he will never win anything there. He's a world class player.

 

Interesting also to see the change in 'Arry. The other night I saw him on SSN praising Modric and saying how great he was and that there's no problem with him anywhere. Now things seem quite different.

Modric is waiting on a bid from us.

Only a matter of time before Modric signs for Chelsea now Harry will just be trying to get best deal possible for Spurs

 

my prediction probably around �£30m + Drogba or Anelka
