Chelsea are planning a fresh bid for Real Madrid's Luka Modric. Roman Abramovich is ready to splash £20 million to tempt Real Madrid to sell the 27 year Croatian International. The former Tottenham attacking midfielder didn't has much of a success in Spain and failed to deliver under Jose Mourinho. The Russian owner want to make use of the opportunity.
Roman always wanted to sign Modric from Spurs, but unable to land him even after a serious £40 million bid. Chelsea are hoping to find a new replacement for Frank Lampard after failing to offer a new deal for the English International. Taison, who was expected to join Stamford Bridge, switched to Shakhtar Donetsk for $20 million, which turn out to be a huge blow for Chelsea. Chelsea are also monitoring Spaniard, Isco, but the chances of landing him is very narrow.
All these latest events turned Chelsea's attention towards Luka Modric, who has a lot of premiere league experience under his boot. However, Modric is definitely a Madrid flop after scoring a single goal from 24 games and the price tag on him even at £20 million seems to be real high. Most of the Spanish media consider Modric as the "worst signing of the season".
Should Chelsea buy Modric? It is a serious question to discuss. He may be out of form and Chelsea are already tired of misfiring BIG FISH and few others. However, by considering the experience he got at top level, it can be considered as a good purchase. He is highly skilled and creative. Chelsea do lack some one at the centre of the park, who can create a good move, some one with a good vision. If Chelsea didn't offer a new deal for Frank, then the Blues really need a replacement.
What do you think of Luka Modric? Should Chelsea buy him after his flop season at Santiago Bernabeu?
