Official: Luka Modric to Real Madrid

After the official confirmation by the Real Madrid website, it seems Luka Modric will be Real Madrid’s first signing for the season. The midfielder was Tottenham Hotspur‘s main playmaker and one of their greatest stars. Modric has great personality and creativity, which allow him to easily connect with teammates and organise the team’s game. He is also an excellent assist-man and makes sacrifices for the team. The Croatian midfielder has officially joined Real Madrid for five years with the fee expected to be around €27m, with bonuses.

Daniel Levy: “Luka has been a terrific player and whilst we preferred not to part with him, we are pleased that it is to Real Madrid, a club with which we now look forward to sharing a long and productive partnership.”

Real Madrid president Florentino Perez said: “The strong relationship and affinity between our two clubs has resulted in the cementing of a longer-term partnership and the successful transfer of Luka Modric.

“We are delighted to welcome Luka and look forward to working closely with Tottenham in the coming years.”

Modric has made 160 appearances for Spurs and scored 17 goals in the process.
