Modric’s arrival at Real Madrid now appears to be just hours away. According to Sky Sports, the Croatian player will travel to the Spanish capital on Thursday to finalise his move to ‘Los Blancos’.
Real Madrid and Tottenham are currently finalising the figures for the transaction. Florentino Pérez is willing to shell out a fee of €32 million plus a series of payments for add-ons, which would range from €6-8 million. The transaction is similar to the one previously agreed with Benfica to sign Argentina’s Di María.
The English club is also working simultaneously on signing someone to replace Luka Modric in the Spurs midfield. Best placed is the Rennes midfielder Yann M’Vila, the French international who performed well in Euro 2012 under the management of Laurent Blanc.
Modric was under the charge of his international coach, Igor Stimac, for the friendly against Switzerland played in Split./
