Saturday, the 28th of July 2012 - Tottenham boss Andre Villas-Boas has insisted that the club has not received any more new bids for unhappy star Luka Modric even as rumours continue to circulate that Real Madrid were preparing to up their offer to £33 million. If true that offer would represent the nearest bid to Spurs’ asking price of £40 million from any club so far.Given that Modric has made his desire to leave plain, Tottenham have been accused to using their ‘unreasonable’ asking price as a way of holding on to the player. Villas-Boas however refutes that and insists that the reason is that no club is yet to make any new offer;
"There is no news at the moment," said Villas-Boas.
"The player is training in London. There have been no further bids, no improved bids. The value hasn't been met for what we think is correct."
"We have a big squad and we are fielded in most of the positions, so we just have to wait and see how that deal goes or doesn't go. If the player eventually stays, he is a player of fantastic talent for us and will certainly add to our squad."
Real Madrid boss Jose Mourinho, has for his part decided to remain tight-lipped on the matter;
"I don't talk about players from other clubs"
