Tottenham rejects Real Madrid's latest £38m bid for Luka Modric
Tottenham have rejected Real Madrid's latest £38million offer for Luka Modric as the transfer saga threatens to drag into the new season.
And the Bernabeu club are now threatening to completely pull their interest in the wantaway midfielder as frustration grows at Spurs' hardline negotiation tactics.
Modric is one of Jose Mourinho's primary transfer targets this summer and the Spanish giant's have already seen several bids turned down by the White Hart Lane club.
The latest to be refused is a £30million offer plus an additional £8m in add-ons spread across the length of the Croatian's contract.
Spurs chairman Daniel Levy has set a £40million asking price for Modric and will not accept a penny under the asking price.
Levy is also said to be unhappy with the structure of Madrid's latest offer, wanting more money up front and less in add-ons.
The rebuffed offer is yet another blow for the Spanish club in their summer-long chase to sign Modric - who has agreed personal terms on a five year deal with Madrid.
And it is understood Real chiefs have told their Tottenham counterparts they will now look at alternative midfield targets - with a move to re-sign Wesley Sneijder from Inter Milan a possibility.
