Spurs take £10m Luka hit

DANIEL LEVY took a whopping £10MILLION hit to keep Luka Modric out of the Prem.

The Spurs supremo finally allowed wantaway Mod to seal his £30million move to Real Madrid last night.

Levy, plotting renewed raids for Brazil playmaker Willian, French midfielder Yann M’Vila and Lyon keeper Hugo Lloris, had told the Bernabeu giants they would have to cough up £40m.

But he decided to accept the Spaniards’ lower offer and get him out of the country — rather

than risk the deal collapsing and the Croatian getting snapped up by Chelsea or Manchester United.

Modric, 26, has signed a five-year deal with the La Liga champions after completing one of the longest-running transfer sagas of the summer.

He said: “It’s taken too long but I’m here and honoured to be at the world’s biggest club.”

Real Madrid will pay Tottenham £25m up front — with a further £5m in instalments.
