Luka Modric is set to become Tottenham’s first ever £100,000 a week player, reports Goal.com.
Modric currently earns £45,000 a week but Daniel Levy is prepared to double that, plus bonuses in an attempt to appease the Croat whose heart was set on a move to Chelsea this summer.
A source told Goal: “There is a bit of work to do but it looks like Luka will sign the new contract. He’s happy again playing for the club and has put the summer speculation behind him. In an ideal world, the club want to agree more than just a pay rise and are looking to get a one-year extension out of him.”
There were reports earlier in the season that Modric was refusing to play for Tottenham but a stunning goal against Liverpool has since seen the Modric of old.
