Chelsea have put Luka Modric at the top of their
shopping list at the end of the season, according to reports on
Tuesday.
Blues boss Carlo Ancelotti has reportedly identified the Croatia
star as the man to revitalise his Chelsea team.
And the man who revealed Chelsea's interest is Dinamo Zagreb
vice-president Zdravko Mamic - the same person who negotiated
Modric's switch to Tottenham in 2008.
Mamic is believed to have met Ancelotti to discuss the deal.

He is reported to have said: "I was with Ancelotti for lunch. I
was very proud when I heard what he said about Modric.
"Luka is top of his list, his first pick when it comes to new
signings. I am not Modric's agent - I am just his friend - but I am
very proud.
"I don't want to say anything more because I don't want to upset
my friends at Tottenham."
Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp will be desperate to hold on to
one of his most prized assets who has been key in Spurs Champions
League success.
