Cash incentive: Spurs will offer to make Luka
Modric (right) their highest-paid player
Tottenham have offered
to make Luka Modric their first £100,000-a-week player, more than
doubling his current £46,000-a-week wage.
Modric was offered £150,000 a
week plus bonuses by Chelsea during the summer — and while it was
not the only reason he wanted to leave Spurs, it was an
incentive.
Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy
held Modric to the six-year contract he signed last year but with
the understanding that his terms would be improved once the
transfer window closed.
Negotiations have some way to
go, but Levy has offered a basic £95,000 a week with a bonus system
that could take him towards £130,000 a week.
