Tottenham<\/a> manager Harry Redknapp<\/a> has suggested Chelsea<\/a> may have already made contact with Luka Modric<\/a> over a potential summer transfer.<\/p>\n

Modric expressed that he would be open to a move to Stamford Bridge this summer, but Spurs chairman Daniel Levy released a frank statement insisting the creative midfielder would not be sold.<\/p>\n

However, Redknapp has revealed the interest in Modric from Chelsea is nothing new and has been going on since shortly after Carlo Ancelotti left the club.<\/p>\n

“This has been going on for a while,” said Redknapp, according to the Daily Telegraph<\/em>. \u201cIt has been going on for the last three or four weeks since Carlo Ancelotti lost his job. Somebody else thinks he is choosing the players, not the new manager.<\/p>\n

“Possibly there has been an approach. You never know. With deals now they go to agents, then the player, before the club.<\/p>\n

“There is not a player transferred that does not know a club wants him before contact between the clubs is made.”<\/p>\n

The newspaper also states Tottenham may be set to report Chelsea for making an illegal approach for Modric, though club officials are still monitoring the situation.<\/p>\n
