Chelsea have made no official approach for Tottenham and Croatia midfielder Luka Modric but have informally inquired about the player, it has been reported. The Modric saga bored everyone to death last summer, but will the Blues have another crack at signing the player?
Spurs’ chairman Daniel Levy does not want to sell to a Premier League club and would have preferred to move him on to Real Madrid, who looked to be favourites as they were willing to offer cash and Nuri Sahin in a part-exchange deal, but Sahin wants to stay at the Bernabeu and Real’s interest seems to have cooled.
In the end, Levy will just have to accept the best offer on the table as the club did not meet the ambitions of Modric and it’s unlikely that they will be able to keep hold of him for another summer as they fought of the interest of Chelsea last time around. Their position will weaken even further if he hands in an official transfer request.
That hasn’t stopped sticking a £50m asking price on the 26-year-old. They’ve rejected a number of bids from us in the past and the Telegraph believes that Roman Abramovich promised Modric that the Blues will make another attempt to sign him this summer, will they sell this time around or will he end up at Real Madrid or Manchester United?
Modric has always been a fantastic passer of the ball and has shown he can control the midfield for both club and country. He was brilliant for Croatia during the group stages and they can count themselves seriously unlucky to go out of the competition as they should have had a penalty against Spain in the final group game.
Tottenham’s failure to capitalise on a great start to last season will Modric leave the club, a season in which they ought to have finished third but somehow managed to fall behind serial choke artists Arsenal. Gareth ‘monkey face’ Bale recently signed a new deal to stay at White Hart Lane, but I don’t think the Europa League and a lifetime’s supply of Fyffes bananas will be enough to convince the Croat to stay for another season.
I think Modric is just 2 expensive 4 £36m, Chelsea shud go 4 another option.
its true…yeah hes a good player but 36m…he got 5 goals and 6 assits and season b4 ..4 goals and 3 assits…and they wanted 50million…were mata…12 goals and 26 assits…dont add up to me..
if you said bale is worth 36m , then fair enough, id agree with that.
Wow, ever since making it into the Champions League that one time, you Spurs fans have become ridiculous. I can understand if Modric led you guys to some sort of silverware and that’s why his price is so inflated but in the end, he’s just a great passer on an alright team. Levys ignorance already caused Modric the possibility of a Champions League title and in the players eyes, Modric won’t let it happen again.
Or maybe his just a damm good player whos worth 40 mil and after all his is playing for spurs a bigger club than chelses
spurs bigger than chelsea ………you must be mental!! we won more than you and been in champions league like 9 seasons in a row…won champions league…won 3 premierships….made a record of 4 fa cups wins in 6 seasons but of course spurs are bigger…….you won erm………fa in 90 0r something with gazza lol
You are a club that have won more in recent years sadly for you this does not make you a bigger overall club.
I know its hard for most of you glory hunters to remember the days when your club was sold for £1 but thats your history
So obvious THFC is a bigger club than CFC but the point is of all the clubs in London, Chelsea won the maiden CL trophy in London. That alone surpasses all Ur club poses in Ur archive. Numbnut!
I see so 1 CL wins wipes out over a 100 years of history it surpasses being the first team to do the double etc etc and you have the cheek to call me “Numbnut”
PMSL spoken like a true glory hunter
last team to do the double!! and our whole history is bigger than spurs…its a joke you saying spurs is bigger…….last league title 61 ……..51 years ago…ok ok your MASSIVE lol
Ur club is nuttin’ more than an “alright” club. No outstanding achievement. Is this history? History My foot!
and league titles ….cups….champion league wins……that makes us bigger club than spurs…how many champion leagues tottenham won? were is your gold star? how many premierships you lot won….oh yeah…..none…..last major cup….91 fa cup…joker …ok ok spurs are bigger than chelsea….fck it spurs are bigger than arsenal aswell and man ud lol and liverpool …
So for matthew a full history of honors please read and try not to cry over your keyboard as you realize Spurs are a bigger club than little club chelsea .

Why refer to bale as monkey face very low, lets see a picture of your boat race (face) pathetic, keep to the point, and stick to the day job!
Because he has a face that resembles that of a monkey, it’s an adequate description, like describing a banana as yellow or you as a retard.
He may have a face for a monkey but i bet his not at all worried about it as he counts the zeros on his bank balance and i also bet the birds he pulls are a lot better than the ones for have to pay for.
You are the luckiest non event team ever to scrape the champions league . If the ref had sent Drogba off For that handball (2nd bookable offence) as he should have in the semi you arrogant lot would not be crowing at all .
Enemy of progress stay away……
Then,you would have given him the red card from your pocket.
Campaign after election. Pls, always think bf posting
You left at 3-1 you left at 3-1. Tottenham scum you left at 3-1.
Y’all CFC’s critics are a bunch of rabid dogs! The saying goes around lyk ‘Chelsea played terribly 2 win UCL by packing the bus’, very obvious anyway! But can I ask a question which is to be answered to Urself. What happen 2 Y’all useless, senseless & classless football fans when Chelsea players played their hearts out against Barça in 09/10 season only 2 be dumped out thru UEFA conspiracy cum incapable Tom Henning Øvrebo who deemed it fit 2 turn down 5 obvious penalty appeals? I will quote another saying which goes like this “the process of doing the same thing in the same way & be expecting a different result is an act of FOOLISHNESS”! To THFC Fans, so sorry 2 take Ur place in d UCL but face it, U were a better team than CFC last term yet U were whitewashed by them 5-1 @ Wembley. This really showed Ur superiority. It would have been a disgrace 4 EPL if Ur club were in d UCL, U belong 2 Europa League & Ur club will languish in mediocrity 4ever! I’m out.
Ur club is nuttin’ more than an alright club. No outstanding achievement. Is this history? History My foot!
“No outstanding achievement” you fluked the CL and want to dine out on that really ?.
As i said you clearly can not remember the days when i could have bought chelsea with the spare change in my pocket
But U didn’t! Instead, U opt to support a low-life, mediocre & an always settle for less team. What a shame.
Did U just say *fluked CL*? Seems like U re missing something. From 2004 till date, Chelsea boasted 5 semi-final appearances, 2 final appearances, 1 win. Is all that fluke? I don’t think so. Plus Ur CL pedigree is no where 2 be found!
So i see you just talking about CL football that makes your history not the fact we are overall a bigger club ok
I remember when you c**nts were struggling, 16,000 fans watching a Freight Rover Trophy match at Stamford Bridge, on the verge of extinction with the administrators one step away from closing your shit hole down for good. Anyone with a few quid in their pockets could have bought you for peanuts. Enter the Russian. He wanted to buy Spurs first but like last Summer with the Modric fiasco, he was sent packing with his offer and a flee in his ear(mores the pity in my view). So he ended up buying a clapped out wanna be club who’d wone f**k all up to his arrival, the rest is history and good luck to you. The only place you tossers can give it the big un is on websites and nowhere else. Enjoy it while it lasts because the moment the Russian has had enough of his plaything, you lot had better whore yourselves out for another sugar daddy.
