Live Football Transfer News and Rumors – Tottenham Hotspurs would benefit from Modric sale

Tottenham Hotspurs manager Harry Redknapp has suggested that if Tottenham sell Luka Modric it would be in club’s best interest.

The Croatian midfielder has been linked with a move to Chelsea throughout the summer transfer window, but Tottenham’s chairman Daniel Levy stated that player is not for sale.

Redknapp’s only first team signing this summer has been goalkeeper brad Fridel on a free transfer. He said that if club sells Modric, he could reinvest in his squad, but he also pointed out that his chairman will not do that in a deadline day deal: “We’ve got two options with Luka. Either we keep a fantastic player or we sell him, get the money and bring in four players and have a better team. I want him to stay but if he’s going I want the opportunity to get other players in. There’s no chance the chairman [Daniel Levy] will sell him on the last day of the transfer window. He did that with [Dimitar] Berbatov a few years ago and ended up with no strikers. He won’t do that again. It’s a difficult situation for Modric. We all love our club and everything, but what would you do if someone offered to treble your wages? He’s had his head turned by the chance to play in a team that could win the Champions League this season and I think people can probably understand that. I’m sure there’s still stuff going on with Chelsea and we have to be careful not to say ‘he ain’t going anywhere’ and then he leaves. But the chairman has taken the stance that he doesn’t want to lose him and I can’t see that changing.”

Tottenham which expects Emmanuel Adebayor to join from Manchester City on loan, will travel to play Manchester United in Premier League on Monday night.
