Sir Alex Ferguson is ready to re-enter the race to sign Tottenham midfielder Luka Modric. The Man United boss has previously been strongly linked with the Croatian international but had appeared to have taken a back seat in the race for the 26 year old as Chelsea and Real Madrid looked like being the front runners to sign the White Hart Lane star.
Now the Old Trafford boss is readying a bid that the Scot hopes will tempt Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy into selling one of their top players to Man United.
United will reportedly offer up to £25m plus the inclusion of either of two players he feels will be of interest to newly installed Tottenham boss Andre Villas-Boas. The players in question are Brazilian midfielder Anderson and Bulgarian international striker Dimitar Berbatov.
Villas-Boas has openly admitted that Tottenham are ready to cash-in on Luka Modric, this is in marked contrast to last summer when Levy refused Chelsea’s advances for the schemer. The club’s change of heart may have a lot to do with the fact that another of the North London club’s prized assets, Gareth Bale, has committed to Spurs and put pen to paper on a new four year deal.
31 year old Man United striker Berbatov has recently made his intention to leave Old Trafford very public and has pleaded to Ferguson to re-think any potentially inflated asking price for his services, after all the former Tottenham striker has only a year left to run on his current deal and any interested parties may opt to wait a year and pick him up on a free but the fourth choice striker wants to leave as soon as possible.
