Harry Redknapp mocks Chelsea’s bid for Luka Modric – English Premier League news
Tottenham Hotspur manager, Harry Redknapp, has shrugged off Chelsea’s 22 million Pound bid for Luka Modric. The Spurs boss believes that the offered amount is insulting for a player of Modric’s calibre.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Luka-Modric-c22857 has been one of the standout stars for Tottenham in the recently concluded 2010/11 Barclays Premier League campaign. The Croatian international has been wreaking havoc with defences throughout the season, and his performances have caught the
eye of some of the biggest clubs in Europe.
Harry Redknapp has already made it perfectly clear that he will not allow Modric to leave in the summer transfer window, but that has not stopped Premier League rivals, Chelsea, from making an offer for the player. The Blues recently lodged a 22 million
Pound bid for the midfielder. Harry Redknapp believes that the amount http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 have offered is ‘ridiculous’, and he rejected the bid outright.
Speaking on the matter, Redknapp said, “Luka is not for sale. If there has been a bid of £22m that is ridiculous. There are people being sold for £20m who are not fit to lace Luka's boots."
However, Chelsea are not going to give up in their pursuit of Modric so easily. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fernando-Torres-c13707 in the January transfer window, but the Blues lined up a whopping 50 million Pound bid to prise the striker away
from Anfield.
They need a long-term replacement for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 international’s huge boots. Former assistant manager Ray Wilkins said, “Modric is a player of immense quality that everyone
with finance would want to buy. His craft and work ethic are brilliant. He would fit in at Chelsea with no problem at all because he is a class player and he would be joining fellow class footballers.”
Luka Modric has not made things any easier for his manager either. The Croatian has refused to commit his future to the Spurs, saying that if the right offer comes along, he would be more than willing to leave White Hart Lane.
