Inter boss Jose Mourinho is tracking Tottenham
midfielder Luka Modric, according to Fifa agent Sabatino
Durante.
After a difficult few months as he adapted to life in
England, the Croatia star, 23, has now rediscovered his form as
Spurs move up the table.
However, Durante claims that Mourinho is a long-term
admirer of the player and, while the agent rates Modric at €25
million (£22.27m), he believes Inter could be set to make an
approach.
Asked if Mourinho was a fan of the player, Durante told
FCInterNews: "Of course.
“He was tracking the player even while he was at Chelsea.
“Inter are looking for a player who can give them more quality
in the midfield and help improve their movement.
“Modric can play behind the strikers – in [Dejan] Stankovic’s
position, for example – but he could also play in central
midfield."
Durante says he is unsure whether there has been any
contact between the clubs about Modric, but he revealed they have a
‘very good’ relationship.
Harry Redknapp travelled to Milan in January amid talk of moves
involving Adriano, Ricardo Quaresma and Jermaine Jenas and, with
Spurs believed to retain an interest in Marco Materazzi, Sulley
Muntari and Mario Balotelli, the agent believes a deal could be
struck.
"The British club showed interest in some Nerazzurri players,”
he said.
“The two clubs are in contact and talking with each other, even
at management level.”
