Modric Signs for Real Madrid

Luka Modric has finally signed for Real Madrid after passing a medical at the Bernabeu on Monday morning.The Croatia international has reportedly signed a five-year deal with the Spanish giants after a long and protracted transfer negotiation with Tottenham Hotspur. Modric was delighted to have finally completed his dream move, but he was quick to rubbish claims that his exit was due to a breakdown in communications between the Spurs hierarchy.Tottenham will be pleased about the £33 million they have received for Modric, but replacing such a huge talent will be a tall order. Spurs signed the Croatian from Dinamo Zagreb for a transfer fee of £16.5 million in 2008. So while the board will be pleased with a 100 percent profit, manager Harry Redknapp now faces a major headache.Thanks to Modric's stellar performances, Spurs have enjoyed two top-four finishes in the Premier League, and they competed in the Champions' League for the first time in 2010. Modric leaves a large hole in the Spurs midfield, but supporters will remember him for all the right reasons. The little Croatian played 160 time for the north London team, and he scored an impressive 17 goals during his time at White Hart Lane.You can now buy tickets for Real Madrid or Barcelona tickets securely - right here at LiveFootballTickets.
