The saga continues! Modric to Madrid is 'done' but Spurs insist Real must pay £35m
Posted Monday, August 13, 2012 by Dailymail
Luka Modric looks set to finally join Real Madrid after the Spanish champions reportedly agreed to pay £25million for the Tottenham playmaker.
The two clubs have been locked in negotiations all summer and Spurs were holding out for £35m but have reluctantly agreed to sell for much less, according to reports in Spain.
Modric will not be allowed to complete the move until the London club have signed a replacement.
