Chelsea are going back with £30million for Luka Modric
Posted Tuesday, August 16, 2011 by The Sun
CHELSEA are going back to Tottenham with a £30million bid for Luka Modric.
New Blues boss Andre Villas-Boas is concerned by the lack of pace in his midfield - which he felt was shown up in Sunday's goalless draw at Stoke.
Chelsea will offer £30m cash or £27m plus Yossi Benayoun.
SunSport understands the midfielder is not against a move to White Hart Lane.
The bid is a considerable increase on the Blues' opening £22m offer but is a sign of Chelsea's desperation. Currently they have put £27m on the table.
Spurs chairman Daniel Levy has been emphatic in his refusal to sell the Croatian playmaker at any price.
But it is believed boss Harry Redknapp is softening in his stance towards selling Modric, who is unlikely to play in the Europa League game at Hearts on Thursday night.
