London coach Harry Redknapp insists that the talk of a possible sale of Luka Modric must end - the Croatian remains in the team. The playmaker was to be of interest to London's Chelsea this summer, but negotiations ended in failure despite an offer of over 30 million euros. Modric missed several recent matches, but should return to the field in Sunday's Premier League clash against Manchester City. "Luka will play on Sunday. The club's management has once again said - he is not for sale," Redknapp said. "This period has not been easy for the player, but we want him to stay, so he will. He could have rebelled and caused problems. In that case, it would have been difficult to keep the Croatian in the team, but he did not do that." Redknapp also did not rule out the possibility that Tottenham will acquire Real Madrid defender Lassana Diarra.
