Both the Spanish giants, Real Madrid and Barcelona, are currently monitoring the situation of the Croatian midfielder, Luka Modric.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786, who have recently won the UEFA Champions League.
However, with Harry Redknapp in charge of the Premier League side, Modric was forced to stay in the club and the Croatian star helped the team throughout the season, but could only help them finish fourth in the league.
With Chelsea taking the fifth spot in the English Premier League, and winning the Champions League, Spurs were knocked out of the Champions League qualifying stages automatically, as the first three positions, along with Chelsea, are the four teams who are
going to represent the English Premier League in Europe next season.
Since Spurs will not be playing Champions League football next season, and since Redknapp has also been sacked by the London club, there are several good players who now want to leave the club.
Players who were under the radar of many elite European clubs, but did not leave Spurs because they were under Redknapp, they now have the chance to hand in a transfer request.
Such players include Rafael Van der Vaart, Luka Modric and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Gareth-Bale-c14422. These three players are hot property and Spurs will be looking forward to selling them off for a good price.
There were rumours that Gareth Bale is under http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 radar but now speculations suggest that Luka Modric is the player in demand as not only the Premier League giants such as Manchester United and Chelsea are after the Croatian; in fact, elite European
clubs such as Barcelona and Real Madrid are also monitoring his situation at White Hart Lane.
Modric is a player who can fit in both these teams. While Real Madrid can adjust him in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alonso-c5254 or Mesut Ozil’s role, Barcelona can definitely see a suitable replacement for Xavi Hernandez.
The Croatian midfielder performed phenomenally not only during the club season, but he was also good while representing his country during the Euro 2012.
