Modric set for Real switch


It is thought that the transfer could now be completed quickly after the clubs finally agreed a fee following months of uncertainty.

Reports suggest that a compromise has been reached that will see Real pay an initial fee of £۲۳.۶million, plus a further £۳.۹m in add - ons.

Tottenham are believed to have accepted Real ' s offer now to give them enough time to sign a replacement before the window slams shut at the end of the month.

If the move goes through it would bring to an end a four - year spell at White Hart Lane for Modric, during which time he has developed into one of the Premier League ' s most impressive performers.
Criticised

The Croatia international was linked with a move to Chelsea last summer but Spurs chairman Daniel Levy stood firm to keep him at the club.

However, intense speculation resurfaced ahead of the current transfer window and Modric made no secret of his desire to move on.

New Tottenham manager Andre Villas - Boas criticised Modric after he did not travel to the United States for their pre - season tour, and the ۲۶ - year - old has continued to train apart from the rest of the squad.

Villas-Boas has already strengthened his midfield with the signing of Gylfi Sigurdsson since replacing Harry Redknapp at the Tottenham helm, while Joao Moutinho has been linked with a move to join up with his former Porto manager.
