Modric 'Truly Honoured' By Liverpool Transfer Rumours


Dinamo Zagreb midfielder Luka Modric has admitted he is "truly honoured" by rumours of a potential transfer bid from Liverpool this summer.

According to reports, Tottenham Hotspur and the Reds are set to go head to head in a race to sign the highly-rated 22-year-old.

Modric has attracted the attention of a number of big clubs across Europe and it is believed his price-tag could be in the region of £18 million.

And the Croatian international admitted any offer from one of the top English clubs might be too good to turn down.

"I don't wish to discuss possible transfers, but if Liverpool really want me then this is fantastic and I am truly honoured," he told Croatian daily newspaper Vecernji List.

Modric also revealed he had watched the European match between Liverpool and Arsenal in midweek and said he had been suitably impressed by the style of play, and the result, at Anfield.

"I watched the Champions League quarter-finals and the way they crushed Arsenal - only the greatest and the best can play such a match against a strong side like Arsenal," he added.

In addition to Liverpool and Spurs, it is thought Chelsea, Portsmouth, Manchester City and Barcelona are all preparing bids for Modric when the transfer window reopens this summer.
