Barca target Modric looking to stay at Tottenham

(GSM) – Totteham Hotspur star Luka Modric has revealed that he has no intention to leave White Hart Lane after being linked with a move to Spanish champions Barcelona.

Modric has been the subject of a £30million move to Nou Camp despite having signed a six-year contract only in May.

And while the 25-year-old Croatia international is flattered to be linked with the Spanish heavyweights, he insists he remains committed to Spurs.

“Me going to Barcelona? Yes, I really hope that, but only as a Tottenham player in the next round of the Champions League,” he joked in an interview with SportskeNovosti.

“Let’s be serious. All this is just so-called exclusive rumours, but I don’t know who really needs them. Are they funny? Yes, they are very funny for me.

“But of course, it is always nice to see your name being linked with such a club as Barcelona, but one has to keep their feet on the ground.

“At the end of the day it’s just rumours without any foundation. And I really don’t want to talk about all this anymore. Since I moved here newspapers are always talking about me leaving for somewhere else.

“First it was Chelsea, then Inter Milan and also Manchester United, now it is Barcelona. But the only truth is that I just recently signed a new contract with Tottenham.

“London is such a great place and at White Hart Lane I feel just like home. I know that the fans are happy with me, I have all the support I need to develop even more.

“I can make my football dreams come true with Tottenham and that is why all my thoughts and also my future is with this club.”
