Chelsea defender http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Luka-Modric-c22857 at Stamford Bridge next season.
The Blues were leading the race to sign the Croatian international last summer but Tottenham Hotspur club chairman http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Daniel-c9879 Levy blocked over three bids by Chelsea. The last bid was reportedly worth 40 million pounds, but Levy was not to be swayed.
Along with then manager Harry Redknapp, Levy ensured Modric remained at the club for the 2011-2012 season. However, with Redknapp having been sacked at the end of the season, many top players at the club have been linked with a move away.
This season Modric has been linked with not only http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Croatia-c2879 international.
Ivanovic admitted that he did not have knowledge of the situation other than what he had heard in the media. However, he was aware that the Blues had the need for a player of Modric’s qualities, which is why he was hoping the Spurs midfielder signed with his side in the summer transfer window.
According to Ivanovic, Modric would fit in perfectly with the rest of the squad and would strengthen them ahead of the new season. He felt the Croatian midfielder had the required experience in England with the Spurs and would prove to be a success with Chelsea.
Ivanovic said in an interview:
“I don't know much about it other than what I read in the media. I know there was interest in the transfer window before. Chelsea as a team have needed a player with these qualities.
He would fit in quickly and strengthen the squad. He has been in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 a long time and knows about the way football is played on the island and the mentality of the players.
He has exceptional quality, and moving to a bigger club is necessary for him to take the next step in his career. I think at Chelsea he would adapt instantly and become a better player. He should come to Chelsea - it won't go wrong!”
