Luka Modric’s Tottenham career approaches an end – English Premier League
Tottenham Hotspur and Harry Redknapp’s policy regarding their stars has been quite direct from the very first day. Redknapp has time and again made it clear that the London club is not interested in selling its best players. He
has come out again and again and confirmed that Tottenham aspire to challenge for a top four place in the upcoming season and to do that they need all the players that are at the club especially those ones who are an integral part of their team.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Gareth-Bale-c14422 were vastly more effective than the Croatian midfielder in the 2010-2011 Premier League season but what these numbers don’t
tell us is that it was Modric’s genuine creativity and influence in the midfield region which allowed his team mates to prosper. At the end of the 2010-2011 season, Tottenham’s fans voted Modric as their player of the year, an incredible statement by the White
Hart Lane faithful.
However now everything that Harry Redknapp has vouched for at Tottenham Hotspur is threatening to unravel. In his latest comments, Modric stated that he had an agreement with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Daniel-c9879 Levy, Tottenham’s chairman. Levy and Modric
had discussed his possible move away from Tottenham in the past and Levy had told the Croatian playmaker that he would be allowed to leave if a bigger club came calling for him. In his latest interview, Modric revealed this agreement and blamed Levy for dishonouring
it.
He also confirmed the fact that he wanted to leave Tottenham in light of the fact that his current employers rejected a 22 million pound bid for him from Chelsea earlier on in the summer transfer window. Modric is believed to be
on Chelsea as well as Manchester United’s radar but it will be interesting to see whether or not Harry Redknapp wants to part ways with his star midfielder or not. Modric is undoubtedly a central figure at the White Hart Lane stadium but his latest comments
mean his relationship with the chairman at Tottenham is scarred beyond repair.
Moreover, Modric further revealed that Levy had threatened him by stating that Tottenham would bench him and make him sit in the stands if he attempted to seek a move away from the club. Such threats are counterproductive at best
as Tottenham really do need Modric but now the time has come for Redknapp to consider selling the Croatian midfielder. Modric’s most probable destination would be http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 but the London club should be vary of the fact that they would require a replacement
for their departing playmaker.
Keeping their best interests at heart, Tottenham should decide to sell Modric and seek his replacement as early as possible. In the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Dimitar-Berbatov-c11254 transfer saga, the Bulgarian was sold at the end of the summer transfer window
to Manchester United which made it impossible for Tottenham to replace him. This mistake should not be repeated with Modric as there is still ample time left in the summer transfer window for Redknapp to seek out a replacement for Modric. It remains to be
seen what will happen in this transfer saga over the course of the summer but one thing is for sure, that Modric’s career at Tottenham seems to be over in light of his recent comments.
