Tottenham do not have an agreement with Luka Modric to let the player leave, despite the claims of the Croatian midfielder. Chelsea are believed to be ready to offer £24m for the playmaker.
However, Tottenham are shocked by the quotes from the player, and stressed that no gentleman's agreement was made between the two parties.
Last week, Modric revealed that discussions had taken place with Spurs regarding a move to a bigger club.
"I reminded the chairman of our gentleman's agreement when we were in Dubrovnik last summer and I agreed a contract extension with Tottenham," said Modric.
"At that time, I had an open chat with Levy - that if a bigger club came in with a concrete offer, we would consider it and agree the best solution for all concerned.
"Now Levy doesn't want to talk to me and said there is no possibility that I can leave Spurs. He threatened me - he said if I didn't accept the club's stance, they would make me sit on the bench or in the stands."
