Luka Modric: Eager to wear the Real Madrid jersey

Luka Modric has prepared his bags and has booked a ticket on a private plane to land in Madrid. It may be in the next few hours, something imminent and only delayed by the problems that Tottenham has suffered in the opened negotiations to sign the Croatian's substitute. The coach, Andre Villas-Boas, continues to give priority to Porto's Portuguese midfielder, Moutinho, and the other option is M'Vila.

But between Tottenham and Real Madrid everything is closed. The signings in the documents is the only thing remaining. The player can not hide his impatience to receive the approval of his representative. He lives 'glued' to the phone and his father informs him at all times of how are the negotiations.

Luka Modric is helping and contributing a lot to facilitate his arrival to Real Madrid. Tottenham offered him an amazing salary (5 million euros per season) an amount almost doubles his current salary at Spurs, in an attempt to convince him that to stay in London was the best option. Then came another dizzying offer from France. The Paris Saint-Germain put on the table 40 million euros and 5.3 to the player, but Modric also refused the proposal. His earnings in the white team will not reach the 5 million euros, but Modric takes it for good because his dream is to wear the white jersey.

Yesterday Modric had to wait 65 minutes to fulfill his dream of returning to step on a field in a competitive match (had played the last against Spain on June 18). The crowd was chanting his name before the break, just the time he began a long heating. The field was not in good condition. Stimac, Croatian coach, placed him on the right, with the match 2-3, expecting to get the victory in his debut as coach of Croatia. It could not be. Maybe, Modric will need a few more hours to fulfill his dream of playing for Real Madrid. We will see.
