Chelsea are hoping to lure Tottenham midfielder Luka Modric to Stamford Bridge by trebling his wages.
The Sun suggests the Blues are prepared to offer the Croatian a massive bumper pay packet with reports suggesting the 25-year old could earn £130,000 a week.
Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp will fight to keep his creative midfielder at White Hart Lane next season, but the lure of Champions League football and a massive increase in wages could be too much to turn down.
The £30million rated maestro has been linked with a move north, with Manchester United preparing a bid. But it is the Blues who have stolen a march on United and appear determined to land their man – a Chelsea source was quoted as saying:
“Not having a manager yet won’t slow anything down.”
“There’s a hitlist of players to sign and Modric is right at the top of it.”
