Modric happy with Reds talk
Liverpool and not Spurs head hunt for Croat
Modric: In-demand
Luka Modric admits he is flattered at claims that Liverpool have made a move to sign him.
It was reported in England that Tottenham had made moves to try and land the highly-rated midfielder - who has also attracted attention from Chelsea, Arsenal and Barcelona in recent months.
But the Croat media, says it is not Tottenham, but Liverpool who have made a firm offer for the 22-year-old.
Modric will almost certainly depart Dinamo Zagreb in the summer and the battle to sign him is firmly on, with Liverpool reported to be heading the queue.
Dinamo want around £18million for their prized asset, who is rated as one of the most impressive young midfielders in world football.
At just 22 - Modric is already a lynch-pin of the Croatian national side who comfortably dispatched of England in qualifying for Euro 2008.
Flattered
Modric has now admitted that he is delighted that Liverpool could be interested in signing him.
"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 Vecernji list.
"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 strong Arsenal
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fantastic player for his age and I would be delighted to see us sign him. Maybe this is a sign Xabi really could go, Only way I could see us going for Modric is if we sold Xabi and used that money to fund a deal for Modric then Lucas stayed in a more Defensive role until Plessis was promoted to the first team more permanently. Very inetersting this, Love the way he says we crushed arsenal too, seems to have a high opinion of us and he is clearly one of the best youngsters in the world right now.
