Devils Charm Modric

Luka Modric is on his way to Manchester United. Boss Alex Ferguson has offered Tottenham Hotspur a 25mil fee, rising to 30mil based on appearences and success. Modric, 26, will be handed a four-year deal worth 26mil. His wages of 125,000 a week will put him among the big earners at Old Trafford.

Modric was kept up to date with talks while at Euro 2012 with Croatia and will seal the move on his return. Spurs held off interest from Chelsea to hold on to the midfielder last year. The Croatian said he had no intention of quitting spurs having singed a six-year deal in May 2010. United boss Fergie singed Japanese star Shinji Kagawa this week and wants Newcastle's Cheik Tiote and Everton Left Back Leighton Baines - but refuses to match the 20mil valuations on each.
