Barcelona to launch bid for Tottenham playmaker Modric

Barcelona are chasing Tottenham playmaker Luka Modric.

The Mail on Sunday says Barcelona will switch attention to Modric after losing patience over Cesc Fabregas.

The Spanish giants are beginning to believe Arsene Wenger is right when he says the Arsenal captain is prepared to stay at the Emirates for years to come, so sources have indicated Barcelona are ready to double the £16.5million Tottenham paid for midfielder Modric, 25, two years ago.

Spurs manager Harry Redknapp would be reluctant to sell but such an offer would tempt White Hart Lane executives.
