Real Madrid to offer Tottenham £33m for Luka Modric

Real Madrid will offer £33m for Luka Modric in an effort to get his transfer from Tottenham concluded.

Spurs boss Andre Villas-Boas turned down Nuri Sahin on loan as part of the deal and Madrid may offer more in add-ons to satisfy Spurs.

Jose Mourinho has himself taken charge of negotiations with Spurs in a bid to clinch a deal for Modric.

The Real boss knows White Hart Lane chairman Daniel Levy personally and hopes this will be decisive in bringing an end to the transfer saga.

Modric is desperate to join the Spanish giants but talks are at a stalemate, with Madrid’s offer £10million short of Spurs’ £40m asking price.

Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain have also expressed interest in the 26-year-old, but he has told friends his heart is set on La Liga.
