We are building a team for the future to consistently play at the highest level and retaining quality players is crucial to that. "In respect of Luka Modric, we are not prepared to sell, at any price, to Chelsea Football Club or any other club. "We made our stance on this issue abundantly clear in writing to Chelsea. They chose to ignore it and then subsequently made the offer public. "For the avoidance of any doubt, let me reiterate that we shall not enter into any negotiations whatsoever, with any Club, regarding Luka. "We now consider this matter closed."
hes desperate...as the saying goes throw enough schit and some of it will stick..he is hoping this sticks
modric wants to leave for chelsea,so if he doesnt leave this summer,he'll leave next summer if you dont qualify for the CL.
The thing is, no name man, if he has a season on a level with the last one or better, I imagine the really big clubs would be interested; The likes of Real madrid, Barca, the Milan clubs etc. Maybe this summer is now or never for the Chavs and ManUSA if they want him.
