London leaders intensify negotiations with Luka Modric for a new contract, fearing that he will be attempted to be acquired during the winter transfer window.
The 26-year-old footballer has been unwilling to tie his future with the capital team for several months, openly expressing ambitions to move to Chelsea in London in the summer.
Now the English champion Manchester United have set their sights on him, seeking reinforcement in the midfield, as reported by the Daily Mirror. Although coach Sir Alex Ferguson does not see the necessity of acquiring new players, he did not deny that money would be available for a top-class player like Modric.
The possibility of a deal is increased by the fact that Modric is practically unable to expect to earn more than 120,000 euros per week at Tottenham due to the wage structure.
This season in the Premier League, the playmaker scored one goal in 14 matches.
