Luka Modric may be busy playing in the European Championship, but top clubs such as Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain are lining him up for a possible summer signing.
TOP EUROPEAN nations are battling it out at Ukraine and Poland, where the ongoing Euro 2012 is being held. Top clubs at the same time are looking for their potential targets for the upcoming season. Actually, the transfer window is open and big clubs are trying to add quality players to bolster their squad. Chelsea has already brought in Eden Hazard, and might sign Hulk too, in the coming weeks. Manchester United have brought in Kagawa from a German club, Borussia Dortmund. Other clubs are also on the lookout for players.
Manchester United has set its sights on Luka Modric. They tried to sign Modric last season too, but they failed to come to a compromise. They seem to be more eager this time to clinch the deal. But there is some bad news for Manchester United, as the player has also been targeted by Paris Saint-Germain coach Carlo Ancelotti, reported Daily Mail. Everyone knows about the money that PSG have in their kitty to get their player. The French club has been targeting big names of
world football and luring them for money.
Manchester seems to be ahead in the race to get their man, Luka Modric, who could play an important role at Old Trafford, if signed, as he is a brilliant and a creative midfielder. He could be the much-needed spark Manchester United is looking for in the upcoming season. His skills at the center of the field can help United grow from strength to strength.
If PSG lures the player with money, Manchester United can do so with the number of trophies and the history associated with the club. But, Modric may not be tempted to join PSG, for he has been playing in the EPL for some time now, and has acclimatised himself with the English conditions. But, one cannot rule out a change of the domestic football competition, for players always want to prove their style of play around the world, and in different conditions.
As of now, his focus is on the European championship, where he is playing an important role for Croatia. The talk about such deals would only get hotter once the Euro 2012 is over as players would be free to talk with clubs who are interested in the player.
