The retired veteran has voiced his opinion regarding Los Blancos’ latest signing, claiming that the midfielder has a great future ahead of him.
Real Madrid’s Director of External Relations, Emilio Butragueno, is expecting great things from the newly signed http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Luka-Modric-c22857.
The man who served Madrid as a striker during his playing days heaped praise over the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Croatia-c2879 international and asserted that Modric has the ability to inspire the Whites to a number of titles.
The player was signed from English Premier League side, Tottenham Hotspur. The move conspired after an extended period of delay. Even though the midfielder was looking for a way out of his former club, the Spurs were not willing to give him away for cheap.
Hence, Los Merengues had to table a suitable bid for the footballer. According to reports, the Spanish giants had to pay 42 million Euros. However, the club’s management are confident that they have invested in the right place.
The transfer saga encompassing the Croatian was brought to a conclusion only recently and experts have reason to believe that great things await the Santiago Bernabeu outfit and their latest signing.
The footballer has managed to prove himself in the Premier League and can surely make a positive impact in the Spanish La Liga while playing for the current champions.
Modric’s debut saw him take the field in the second half of Madrid’s Supercopa de Espana match against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604. Even though he featured only for 10 minutes in the game, by the end of the competition, he had already won a trophy with his new club.
While talking to reporters, Butragueno was quoted as saying:
"Modric? I hope this is the first of many titles for him. He knew perfectly what to do when he came to the pitch, well done to him. The first 30 - 35 minutes were fantastic. We should have scored 3 or 4 goals and closed out the match. But when they were
reduced to 10 men they produced their best football and in the end we had problems. But we held our nerve, and the fans deserved this victory."
Real Madrid manager, Jose Mourinho, has given a new spark to transfer rumours by suggesting that his club may sign one or two more players before the summer transfer window closes.
