Spend big - or lose Luka
Posted Friday, June 03, 2011 by The Sun
LUKA MODRIC has told Spurs to make big signings this summer - or he could quit.
The Croatian midfielder is a £25million target for the likes of Manchester United and mega-rich Manchester City.
Modric, 25, signed a six-year deal last season and insists he is happy under boss Harry Redknapp.
But loyalty comes at a price with the playmaker anxious to see how the club move forward from last season's Champions League debut.
A Tottenham insider said: "Harry's gone on record saying how Spurs won't sell Modric or any other big-name star.
"But while Luka has declared himself happy with what Tottenham have done so far, he is also fiercely ambitious.
"He's waiting to see if Harry can make a couple of 'marquee' signings. That will tell him what direction the club is heading in."
But Roman Pavlyuchenko is ready to pledge his long-term future to Spurs.
The Russian striker, 29, said: "My aim is to stay here and achieve more success. After my holiday, we will discuss the terms of a new contract."
