Modric: Levy is a liar and should see sense and sell me to Chelsea

The Tottenham midfielder Luka Modric is not at all happy that the Spurs chairman Daniel Levy has gone back on his promise to the Croatian last year that he could leave for a “bigger club” if a suitable offer came in.

“I reminded the chairman of our gentleman’s agreement when we were in Dubrovnik last summer and I agreed a contract extension with Tottenham,” Modric said in a Croatian newspaper.

“At that time, I had an open chat with Levy – that if a bigger club came in with a concrete offer, we would consider it and agree the best solution for all concerned.

“Now Levy doesn’t want to talk to me and said there is no possibility that I can leave Spurs. He threatened me – he said if I didn’t accept the club’s stance, they would make me sit on the bench or in the stands.”

And he says that Levy gave a “twisted account” of their conversation to the press the other day, when Levy told him to forget about leaving and made his threats.

“A lot has been published in the press about the meeting with Levy, who gave the public a twisted account of what happened. I must say that I am genuinely disappointed about what Levy said to me. He didn’t care about what I was telling him. It all only convinced me further that I was right to consider moving on to another club,” he said.

“I hope that eventually he will understand the situation and that we will reach an agreement and go our separate ways in an appropriate manner.”

Modric now wants the situation resolved as quickly as possible after he decided to join Chelsea after a lot of soul-searching and discussions.

“There is no doubt that Chelsea want me – they sent a concrete offer to Tottenham,”.

“I know that the new Chelsea boss (Andre Villas-Boas) said he wants me in his team. Of course I am flattered by this interest in me – it’s a club that all players dream of joining, fighting for every competition available.

“It wasn’t a snap decision – I talked a long time with my family and people whose opinions I respect. I thought about it, weighed it all up, and finally decided this was the best option,”

Actually Luka I just have to agree with you! Chelsea is definitely the best option!
