Tottenham manager Andre Villas-Boas has warned
potential suitors that midfielder Luka Modric will
only be allowed to leave White Hart Lane if the
club's asking price is met.
The Croatia international has been linked with
moves to a host of clubs across Europe, including
Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester
United.
Modric's exit has long been expected ever since the
26-year-old first stated his desire to quit the club
last summer. However, the newly appointed Spurs
boss is adamant that a move will not be sanctioned
unless chairman Daniel Levy is happy with the fee
on offer.He told the Daily Mirror: "There has been continuous
interest from three different clubs. But it's
important for Tottenham to hold onto their rights.
His situation will continue as it is until the price is
right.
"Luka is an intelligent person and understands the
club has to defend his value their values, rights and
interests.
"But the offer has not been met to what the
chairman wants. If that is met there won't be any
problems."
Tottenham have already been active in the transfer
window this summer, adding Gylfi Sigurdsson and
Ajax captain Jan Vertonghen to their ranks.
