REPORTS: Modirc In Talks Over New Spurs Deal

Luka Modric is in talks over a new improved deal at Tottenham which is thought to be in the region of £80,000 a week.

The midfielder was subject to numerous bids from Premiership rivals Chelsea in the summer, with the latest offer thought to be worth around £40million. Despite Chelsea’s advances and the player himself admitting he wanted to join the Blues, chairman Daniel Levy insisted the Croatian was not for sale.

Spurs manager Harry Redknapp believes the playmaker was badly advised during the summer and has urged Levy to offer a new deal as soon as possible.

“If he is worth £40 million then life tells you that you have to be paid accordingly,” Redknapp said earlier this week.

“You have to look after the boy and I am sure we will do that. Hopefully, his future is here.

“This is a big club, a good club, I am sure the chairman will sit down and talk to him. We have got to convince him that his future is here and make it right for the boy, which is only fair and I am sure he will.”

Despite having 4 years remaining on his current deal the 25-year old is set for a bumper pay raise, with several reports suggesting talks are underway on the new deal.
