DANIEL LEVY took a whopping £10MILLION
hit to keep Luka Modric out of the Prem.
The Spurs supremo finally allowed wantaway Mod to seal
his £30million move to Real Madrid last night.
Levy, plotting renewed raids for Brazil playmaker Willian,
French midfielder Yann M’Vila and Lyon keeper Hugo Lloris,
had told the Bernabeu giants they would have to cough up £40m.
But he decided to accept the Spaniards’ lower offer
and get him out of the country — rather
than risk the deal collapsing and the Croatian getting snapped
up by Chelsea or Manchester United.
Modric, 26, has signed a five-year deal with the La Liga
champions after completing one of the longest-running
transfer sagas of the summer.
He said: “It’s taken too long but I’m here and honoured
to be at the world’s biggest club.”
Real Madrid will pay Tottenham £25m up front — with a
further £5m in instalments.
