This season’s summer transfer window saga has come to an end, as Real Madrid have finally managed to steal Tottenham Hotspur’s Luka Modric for 35 Million Euros.
Real Madrid have been trying to lure the Spurs midfielder, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Luka-Modric-c22857, for quite some time now.
The Croatian midfielder was phenomenal throughout the last season’s campaign and that is the reason why he was under the radar of many elite European clubs.
Soon after http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 failed to lure the player from the North London side, the Spanish giants, Real Madrid, showed interest as they were willing to pay the money for the Croatian star.
However, throughout this summer transfer window, Luka Modric’s saga was ongoing as both the teams simply couldn’t come up with a final transfer fee.
The Portuguese mentor, Jose Mourinho, clearly stated his desire to sign the Croatian midfielder during this transfer window. However, since there were a few hitches, he couldn’t join the Spanish team on time.
Now, with Real Madrid in desperate need for a midfielder, it has been reported that the Tottenham star has finally joined the Spanish champions for a fee of 35 million Euros, plus 7 million Euros which will be paid in variables.
Real Madrid have not started this season ideally, as they have only managed to pick up one point out of the available six.
Mourinho’s men faced http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Valencia-c40863 in their first Spanish La Liga fixture, and they could only manage to settle the game with a 1-1 draw.
This weekend, Real Madrid faced Getafe while being away from home. Even though the Spanish champions were the favourites to come out as winners, Getafe were able to shock the fans around the globe, as they managed to win the game 2-1 at their home.
This simply shows how much Real Madrid currently require the assistance of a player like Luka Modric, who is going to act as a replacement for the Spanish midfielder, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Xabi-Alonso-c37045.
As http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ricardo-c30950 Kaka is expected to leave during this transfer window, the confirmed transfer of Luka Modric is definitely going to come in as good news for all the Real Madrid fans.
