Chelsea: We'll make Mod rich
Posted Tuesday, June 14, 2011 by The Sun
CHELSEA are ready to offer Luka Modric £130,000 a week to defect to Stamford Bridge.
That is almost triple the Croatian's £50,000-a-week White Hart Lane wages.
And the Blues are hoping that their mega-money deal will convince the £15million -rated playmaker to cross the capital.
Chelsea want to add some much-needed flair and creativity to a squad that ended the season empty handed.
The Spurs star, who still has three years on his current contract, is one of their top summer targets along with a right-back and a flying winger.
A Chelsea insider said: "Not having a manager yet won't slow anything down.
"There's a hitlist of players to sign and Modric is right at the top of it."
Blues skipper John Terry is confident new faces will give his side a lift.
Terry said: "We made two fantastic signings in January in Fernando Torres and David Luiz. They have really freshened the club up, and hopefully there will be some more new signings."
