The 29 year old has been in fine form over the past 18 months after initially struggling to win over the Real Madrid faithful and is now a key part of Carlo Ancelotti’s first team plans and not a player the Italian would want to lose.
This source claims that Man United may submit an offer for the Tottenham man in view of their inability to snap up long term midfield targets Kevin Strootman and Arturo Vidal.
It took some time to persuade White Hart Lane chairman Daniel Levy to sell Modric to Real Madrid and as such one imagines that they won’t give up on the player lightly.
Modric made 45 starts in all competitions last term, playing a key role in the club’s successful capture of Copa del Rey and Champions League crowns, and has once again been a regular this term prior to being sidelined with a hamstring injury.
Louis van Gaal could well do with some added creativity in the centre of the park and Modric is the type of dynamic performer who rarely loses the ball and is an expert distributor with a great footballing brain.
