Luca Modric set for Spurs talks this weekend

Luka Modric will hold showdown talks with Tottenham manager Andre Villas-Boas about his future this weekend.

Spurs rebel Modric has been training alone since being fined last month for going AWOL in an apparent attempt to force through a move to Real Madrid.

The Croatian will now sit down with Villas-Boas as he seeks to find out where he stands and push the club into selling him, according to the Mirror.

Spurs chairman Daniel Levy remains adamant that Modric will not move for less than his valuation – around £40 million – and Villas-Boas has moved to separate him from the squad for fear that he could be an unsettling influence on other players.

The midfielder did not travel to Spain ahead of their Thursday night friendly with Valencia.

If a renewed offer from Real does not materialise, Modric will be forced to re-join the first team group.
