Ever since landing at Tottenham Hotspur’s White Hart Lane in the summer of 2008, Croatia national footballer Luka Modric has been a frequent transfer rumor victim. For the better part of the past year, Modric has been rumored to be at the top of Sir Alex Ferguson’s wishlist. The most recent story linking Modric to Old Trafford has Manchester United ready to bid €35 million to land the Croatian midfielder in the summer transfer window.

Tottehnam boss Harry Redknapp may soon have his hands full trying to keep one of his stars, Luka Modric. While some clubs have been mentioned as interested buyers, Manchester United is one of the most frequently mentioned clubs looking to land the signature of the miniscule midfield magician Modric.

Sir Alex Ferguson has been mentioned as the most interested buyer and reportedly sees Luka Modric as the player to bring some punch to the Red Devil’s midline. Last summer there was mention of Modric moving to United and now the English media are saying that Sir Alex is ready to break the bank to bring Modric to Manchester. Some reports have mentioned a figure of €35 million and a move in the summer transfer window.
