Tottenham laugh off Modric bid
Tottenham laugh off Modric bid
Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp has laughed off suggestions that the club will sell star Croatian midfielder Luka Modric; a fee of 22m GBP was rejected from Chelsea and Spurs are looking for closer to 32m GBP for the midfielder.
Tottenham are reluctant to sell their star player at all; so the 22m was considered derisory by Redknapp.
"I was surprised by the figure," said Redknapp to Sky Sports News. "It's a farcical bid. If they're going to make an offer, make an offer, but £22million for Luka Modric is ridiculous."
"We wouldn't put a valuation on him," he continued. "He's such a fantastic player, we don't want to sell him. He's up there with the very, very best players in the Premier League and I think he can play in any team in the world, he's that good."
